Potato and Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir

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 Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir and Potato 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir is filed under 7 classifications — including cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inhibitors, p-glycoprotein substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Potato has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being succinylcholine (moderate) and thrombolytic drugs (moderate) — and none of Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Potato Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir. It is the side-effect record for Potato on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Potato, this list is the first place to look. 3 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Heart failure Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, glycoalkaloids found in damaged, green potatoes and sprouts affect the nervous system. This can cause sweating, headache, flushing, bronchospasm, and restlessness (17, 97758). Severe poisoning can result in paralysis, respiratory insufficiency, cardiac failure, coma, and death. The glycoalkaloids in potato cannot be destroyed by cooking.”

  • Wheezing Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, consuming whole, unblemished, ripe potatoes has not been associated with adverse effects. Drinking potato juice has resulted in heartburn, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and increased mucus production. Potatoes absorb oil readily, increasing their energy content.”

A 31-year-old female experienced several acute, exercise-induced allergic reactions shortly after eating. Symptoms included widespread urticaria, palpitation, fever, faintness, vomiting, abdominal pain, and swelling of the eyelids, palms, and soles.”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir page

“Technivie (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir) treats hepatitis C, and because a cure depends on holding steady drug levels for the whole course, this list warrants genuine care. Most of the 154 ingredients on file touch the CYP3A4 enzyme pathway, meaning they can push the drug's blood levels up or down.”

About Potato

What is Potato?

  • Digestive complaints and heartburn
  • Minor skin irritation or burns (topical folk use)
  • Joint or muscle aches (traditional poultice)
  • Source of carbohydrates and potassium in the diet
  • Eye puffiness (cosmetic folk use)

Potato is a common food, and as a supplement it is mostly used in folk remedies such as raw potato juice for stomach upset or as a topical poultice. Solid scientific evidence for these uses is very limited. The edible tuber is safe as food, but green, sprouted, or raw potato in large amounts can contain natural toxins, so use caution and talk to your pharmacist before using potato as a remedy.

Solanum tuberosum · Solanaceae · Tuber (and sometimes raw potato juice); leaves and sprouts are not used and can be toxic · Whole cooked potato (food), raw potato juice, topical poultice, starch

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

Potato: dosing

There is no established standardized dose of potato as a supplement or remedy. As a food, normal portions are part of a regular diet.For folk remedies like raw potato juice, no proven safe or effective dose exists.

About Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir, and Ritonavir

What Is Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir, and Ritonavir Used For?

Brand name: Technivie

  • The combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir is usually used in combination with ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol), but sometimes it is used alone to treat a certain type of chronic (long-term) hepatitis C infection (swelling of the liver caused by a virus). Ombitasvir is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor. It works by stopping the virus that causes hepatitis C from spreading inside the body. Paritaprevir is a protease inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of HCV in the body. Ritonavir is a protease inhibitor. It helps to increase the amount of paritaprevir in the body so that the medication will have a greater effect. It is not known if ombitasvir, paritaprevir, or ritonavir prevent the spread of hepatitis C to other people.
