No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Pellitory-of-the-wall and Lapatinib 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.

Pellitory-of-the-wall and Lapatinib

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 Lapatinib and Pellitory-of-the-wall 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 Pellitory-of-the-wall at all — not against Lapatinib, 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.

What Lapatinib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Pellitory-of-the-wall. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Lapatinib’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both.

  • Diarrhea mentioned in 27.1% of FDA reports for Lapatinib
  • Acne
  • Mouth irritation or sores
  • Tiredness mentioned in 8.5% of FDA reports for Lapatinib
  • Vomiting mentioned in 7.8% of FDA reports for Lapatinib
  • A skin rash mentioned in 6.9% of FDA reports for Lapatinib
  • Nausea mentioned in 10.5% of FDA reports for Lapatinib

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lapatinib. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 15,427 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Lapatinib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Pellitory-of-the-wall’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Pellitory-of-the-wall side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Pellitory-of-the-wall has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lapatinib page

“Of the 143 supplements on file for lapatinib (Tykerb), nearly all press on the same point, the CYP3A4 enzyme that clears this HER2-targeted breast cancer drug. That deserves real caution, since lapatinib only works when its blood level stays in range.”

About Pellitory-of-the-wall

What is Pellitory-of-the-wall?

  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Kidney and bladder stones
  • Mild diuretic ('water pill') effect
  • Cough and sore throat
  • Minor wound care (traditional topical use)

Pellitory-of-the-wall is a wild plant traditionally used as a diuretic and for urinary and kidney complaints, but modern human studies are very limited and do not confirm these uses. It is best known as a strong allergen (its pollen triggers hay fever), so people prone to allergies should be careful. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Parietaria officinalis · Urticaceae · Aerial parts (leaves and stems) · Tea, liquid extract, tincture, dried herb
