Drug & supplement interaction

Quillaia + Tazemetostat Hydrobromide

Tazemetostat Hydrobromide brand name: Tazverik.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Quillaia and Tazemetostat Hydrobromide 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 two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Quillaia and Tazemetostat Hydrobromide

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 Tazemetostat Hydrobromide and Quillaia 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 Tazemetostat Hydrobromide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Tazemetostat Hydrobromide is filed under 2 classifications — cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Quillaia has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being immunosuppressants (moderate) — and none of Tazemetostat Hydrobromide’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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Quillaia and Tazemetostat Hydrobromide May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Kidney problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    Quillaia

    “Orally, quillaia seems to be well tolerated when consumed in foods; however, it is associated with significant adverse effects at higher doses due to its oxalate and tannin content. A thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.

    Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):

    Orally: Coma, convulsions, diarrhea, gastrointestinal tract mucosal damage, hemolysis, and kidney failure.”

    Quillaia · Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, reported in diarrhea.

    “Orally, quillaia combines with calcium to form crystals of calcium oxalate which can precipitate in the renal tubules and cause acute kidney failure (12).”

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Tazemetostat Hydrobromide

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tazemetostat Hydrobromide page

“Tazemetostat (Tazverik) is a targeted cancer medicine, and because a lot rides on keeping its dose steady, this interaction list deserves genuine care. Almost all 138 interacting ingredients act on the liver enzyme CYP3A4, which clears tazemetostat from the body.”

About Quillaia

What is Quillaia?

  • Cough and chest congestion
  • Foaming agent in beverages
  • Vaccine adjuvant (in pharmaceutical manufacturing)
  • Washing and cleansing (traditional soap)
  • Skin conditions

Quillaia (soap bark tree) is a plant whose bark contains foaming compounds called saponins, and it is widely used as an emulsifier in foods and drinks. As a supplement or herbal remedy its benefits are not well proven, and large amounts can be irritating or toxic, so it should be used cautiously and only as directed.

Quillaja saponaria · Quillajaceae · Inner bark · Liquid extract, powder, food and beverage additive, tinctures

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

Quillaia: dosing

There is no well-established standardized supplement dose for quillaia. The amounts used as a food and beverage additive are tightly limited by safety regulations.If you choose to use a quillaia product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Tazemetostat

What Is Tazemetostat Used For?

Brand name: Tazverik

Tazverik (tazemetostat) tablets are used to treat adults and patients aged 16 and older with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma (a rare soft-tissue cancer) that cannot be completely removed by surgery.

Tazverik is also used in adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma — meaning the lymphoma has come back or stopped responding to treatment — either when the tumor carries a specific EZH2 gene mutation (confirmed by an FDA-approved test) after at least two prior treatments, or when there are no other satisfactory treatment options. Both uses were approved based on response rates, and continued approval may depend on results from ongoing confirmatory studies.

Taking Quillaia and Tazemetostat Hydrobromide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Quillaia with Tazemetostat Hydrobromide?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.

How was the Quillaia and Tazemetostat Hydrobromide combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Tazemetostat Hydrobromide is filed under 2 classifications, and Quillaia has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Tazemetostat Hydrobromide's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Quillaia interact with any other medications?
Yes. Quillaia has 121 documented drug interactions in our database — Tazemetostat Hydrobromide is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
