Pear + Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir
Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir brand name: Mavyret.
We found no known interaction between Pear and Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir states a food rule worth keeping to.
Pear and Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir and Pear in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Pear at all — not against Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Some Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir Products Have a Food Rule — Pear Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir says to take it with food. If you take Pear on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
Recommended dosage in adults: Three tablets taken at the same time orally once daily (total daily dose: glecaprevir 300 mg and pibrentasvir 120 mg) with food.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Glecaprevir, Pibrentasvir page
“Mavyret (glecaprevir and pibrentasvir) is a short course of pills meant to cure hepatitis C, so I read its supplement list with real caution. Nearly everything on it can shift how much of the drug reaches your blood, mostly through the CYP3A4 enzyme or the P-glycoprotein transporter that handles it.”

About Pear
What is Pear?
- Digestive health and constipation
- Hydration and general nutrition
- Cough and sore throat (traditional)
- Hangover relief (traditional)
- Antioxidant and heart health support
Pear is a common, nutritious fruit that provides fiber, water, vitamin C, and antioxidants, and it is a healthy part of most diets. Beyond its value as a food, evidence for pears as a medicinal supplement for specific conditions is limited, so enjoy it as part of a balanced diet rather than a treatment. If you have allergies or specific health concerns, check with your pharmacist or doctor.
Pyrus communis · Rosaceae · Fruit (commonly); leaves and fruit peel are sometimes used in traditional preparations · Fresh fruit, juice, dried fruit, fruit extracts, and powders
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Pear is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Pear record says about it on its own.
Pear: dosing
There is no established "medicinal dose" for pear, because it is mainly a food. Most people simply eat pears as part of a normal diet, such as one or more pieces of fruit per day.For pear juice, dried pear, or pear supplements and extracts, there is no standardized dose backed by strong evidence. Keep in mind that whole pears also provide fiber that juices and extracts may lack.
