No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Red Maple and Obinutuzumab in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist.

Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Obinutuzumab states a food rule worth keeping to.

Red Maple and Obinutuzumab

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 Obinutuzumab and Red Maple 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 Red Maple at all — not against Obinutuzumab, 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 Obinutuzumab’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Red Maple. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Obinutuzumab’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on

Read the label on DailyMed › Red Maple’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Red Maple side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Red Maple has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Obinutuzumab Products Have a Food Rule — Red Maple Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Obinutuzumab says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Red Maple included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Obinutuzumab on its own and move Red Maple to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Obinutuzumab 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.

650–1,000 mg acetaminophen At least 30 minutes before GAZYVA infusion.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Obinutuzumab — 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.

About Red Maple

What is Red Maple?

  • Eye and skin irritation (traditional washes)
  • Coughs and sore throat
  • Digestive complaints
  • General tonic
  • Source of edible sap and syrup

Red maple is a common North American tree best known as a source of maple sap, with a long history of traditional Native American medicinal use of its bark and leaves. There is very little modern human research to support any health benefit, so it should not be relied on to treat any condition. Importantly, red maple leaves are highly toxic to horses, and people should use caution and talk to a healthcare provider before using any red maple product.

Acer rubrum · Sapindaceae · Bark, leaves, and sap · Tea, bark decoction, tinctures, and sap/syrup (food use)

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

Red Maple: dosing

There is no established or standardized medicinal dose for red maple. Traditional preparations were made as teas or decoctions of the bark or leaves, but amounts varied widely and were not measured in a consistent way.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Obinutuzumab Injection

What Is Obinutuzumab Injection Used For?

Brand name: Gazyva

Gazyva is used to treat three conditions. For chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), it is given in combination with chlorambucil in patients who have not been treated before. For follicular lymphoma (FL), it is used either with bendamustine (for patients whose disease came back or stopped responding to a rituximab-based regimen) or with chemotherapy (for previously untreated advanced disease) — in both cases followed by Gazyva alone as maintenance therapy.

Gazyva is also approved for active lupus nephritis — a type of kidney inflammation caused by lupus — in adults who are already receiving standard therapy for the condition.

Taking Red Maple and Obinutuzumab Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Red Maple with Obinutuzumab?
We do not list a known interaction between Red Maple and Obinutuzumab. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Should I take Red Maple and Obinutuzumab at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Obinutuzumab says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Obinutuzumab on its own and move Red Maple to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
