Rose Hip and Bivalirudin

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Bivalirudin

Bivalirudin falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Rose Hip interacts with.

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that a constituent of rose hip, rugosin E, can induce platelet aggregation. This has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the quick picture: bivalirudin (Angiomax) is a powerful blood thinner given through an IV, usually in the hospital during procedures like a cardiac catheterization or stent placement. It works directly on a clotting protein called thrombin to keep your blood from clumping when it shouldn't.

The concern with rose hip is that one of its natural compounds may nudge platelets (the cells that start clots) to stick together a bit more. In theory, that could push back against a blood thinner like bivalirudin and make it slightly less effective. But honestly, this is very theoretical, seen only in lab and animal testing, never in people. On top of that, bivalirudin is given by professionals in a monitored setting, so this isn't something you'd be juggling at home. Still, always let your care team know about any supplements you take.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Bivalirudin page

“Bivalirudin (Angiomax) is a strong intravenous blood thinner used during heart procedures like angioplasty, and because bleeding is already its main built-in danger, this list deserves genuine care.

About Rose Hip

What is Rose Hip?

Rose Hip
  • Joint pain and osteoarthritis
  • Colds and flu
  • Source of vitamin C
  • Digestive complaints
  • Anti-inflammatory support

Rose hip is the vitamin C–rich fruit of the wild rose, used traditionally for colds and joint pain. A standardized rose hip powder has some research support for easing osteoarthritis symptoms, but evidence for most other uses is limited. It is generally well tolerated as a food, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it as a supplement.
