Parsley and Sirolimus (albumin bound)

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

SIROLIMUS (Rapamune)

Theoretically, large quantities of parsley might increase sirolimus levels.
In one case report, an adult female with a history of kidney transplant presented with elevated blood sirolimus levels, approximately 4-7 times greater than previous measures, after daily consumption of a juice containing approximately 30 grams of parsley for 7 days. Sirolimus levels returned to normal a week after the parsley juice was discontinued.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist: sirolimus (Fyarro) is cleared from your body mainly by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. Large amounts of parsley may slow that enzyme down, so the drug isn't broken down as fast and its level in your blood can climb. This isn't a prodrug situation, so higher levels mean stronger drug effects and more side effects, things like mouth sores, low blood counts, swelling, high cholesterol, or a higher infection risk.

Now, the honest part: this rests on a single case report where someone drank parsley juice made with about 30 grams of parsley daily for a week. Normal cooking amounts of parsley are very unlikely to matter. But sirolimus is a drug where small swings count, so please skip concentrated parsley juice or supplements and check with your oncology team or pharmacist before adding any.

Most of them (121 through the CYP3A4 enzyme, 37 through the P-glycoprotein transporter) can shift how much sirolimus act…”

About Parsley

What is Parsley?

Parsley
  • Water retention and bloating
  • Urinary and bladder support
  • Digestive upset
  • Freshening breath
  • Source of vitamins and antioxidants

Parsley is a popular culinary herb that is safe to eat in normal food amounts and is a good source of vitamins K and C. It is traditionally used as a diuretic and for digestion, but solid human evidence for medicinal benefits is limited. Concentrated supplements, seed extracts, and the essential oil are much stronger than food and should be used cautiously, especially during pregnancy.
