Poplar and Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir

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 Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir and Poplar 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 Poplar at all — not against Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir, 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.

Poplar safety at a glance

Poplar overall Use caution Generally used in folk medicine, but human safety data are limited and it contains aspirin-like compounds.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How to take them

Some Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir Products Have a Food Rule — Poplar Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir says to take it with food. If you take Poplar on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir 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 Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir 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.

( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: One tablet (400 mg of sofosbuvir, 100 mg of velpatasvir, and 100 mg of voxilaprevir) taken orally once daily with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir — 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 Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, Voxilaprevir page

“Vosevi (sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir) cures hepatitis C over a single short course, and that is exactly why I would be genuinely careful with supplements while taking it. Anything that drags its blood levels down can cost you the cure itself.”

About Poplar

What is Poplar?

  • Minor pain and fever
  • Arthritis and joint discomfort
  • Minor skin wounds and irritation (topical)
  • Coughs and sore throat
  • Inflammation

Poplar comes from trees in the Populus genus and has a long history in folk medicine for pain, inflammation, and minor wounds, partly because its bark and buds contain salicin (a salicylate similar to the building block of aspirin). High-quality human studies are limited, so its true effectiveness is uncertain. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are sensitive to aspirin.

Populus spp. · Salicaceae · Bark, leaf buds (leaf bud resin), and leaves · Tea, tincture, capsules, topical salves and ointments, dried bark or buds

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Poplar is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Poplar record says about it on its own.

Poplar: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for poplar. The right amount depends on the product, the part of the plant used, and how it is prepared (tea, tincture, capsule, or topical).The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them.
