No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Quince and Niraparib Tosylate 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.

Quince and Niraparib Tosylate

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 Niraparib Tosylate and Quince 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 Quince at all — not against Niraparib Tosylate, 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.

Quince safety at a glance

Quince overall Use caution Quince as a food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements are not well studied.
Pregnancy Use caution Quince as food is likely fine, but concentrated extracts or seed products lack safety data, so use caution.
Breastfeeding Use caution There is not enough reliable information on quince supplements during breastfeeding, so caution is advised.

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

What Niraparib Tosylate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Quince. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Niraparib Tosylate’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. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low magnesium Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on mentioned in 5.9% of FDA reports for Niraparib Tosylate
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 27 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Niraparib Tosylate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 51 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Niraparib Tosylate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Quince’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Quince side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Quince has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Niraparib Tosylate page

“Activated charcoal, popular for bloating and so-called detox routines, can trap niraparib (Zejula) in the gut before it absorbs, and St. John's wort can drive levels of the drug down another way.”

About Quince

What is Quince?

  • Digestive upset and diarrhea
  • Acid reflux and heartburn
  • Sore throat and cough
  • Skin soothing and wound care
  • Nausea

Quince is a tart, apple-like fruit traditionally used for digestive complaints, reflux, and soothing the throat and skin. Early research is interesting but limited, so quince should not replace proven treatments. Enjoying cooked quince in food is generally fine, but talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements.

Cydonia oblonga · Rosaceae · Fruit, seeds, and leaves · Fresh fruit, jam or jelly, syrup, tea, dried seeds, capsules, extracts

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

Quince: dosing

There is no standardized or proven dose for quince supplements. The right amount depends on the product, the part of the plant used, and how it is prepared, which varies a lot between brands.If you choose to use a quince product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the suggested amount. Avoid eating raw or crushed seeds.

About Niraparib

What Is Niraparib Used For?

Brand name: Zejula

Zejula is used as maintenance therapy — meaning it is taken after chemotherapy to help keep the cancer from coming back — for adults with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. For first-line maintenance, Zejula is approved for patients whose cancer is HRD-positive (has certain DNA-repair defects, including BRCA mutations or genomic instability) and who have responded to their first round of platinum-based chemotherapy.

Zejula is also approved for maintenance treatment in adults with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that carries a germline BRCA mutation (an inherited change in the BRCA gene), when the cancer has responded to platinum-based chemotherapy. In both cases, a companion diagnostic test is required to confirm eligibility before starting Zejula.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Niraparib Tosylate

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (51 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
