Rosemary and Cablivi

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

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Cablivi

Cablivi falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Rosemary interacts with.

Theoretically, rosemary may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that rosemary inhibits platelet aggregation.
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 thing to know: Cablivi (caplacizumab) already works to prevent blood clots by blocking a protein involved in clotting, so bleeding is one of its main known side effects. That can show up as nosebleeds, bruising more easily, bleeding gums, or heavier bleeding from cuts. Rosemary, in lab and animal studies, may make platelets a little less sticky, which could in theory add to that bleeding tendency.

This concern is theoretical and based on test-tube and animal data, not human studies, so I don't want to alarm you. Rosemary as a normal cooking herb is very unlikely to matter. Concentrated rosemary supplements are where I'd be more cautious. Since aTTP is serious, please run any rosemary supplement past your doctor or pharmacist first.

About Rosemary

What is Rosemary?

Rosemary
  • Memory and concentration
  • Digestive upset
  • Hair growth
  • Anxiety and stress (aromatherapy)
  • Muscle and joint discomfort
  • Antioxidant support

Rosemary is a fragrant Mediterranean herb that is safe and flavorful in normal food amounts. Some early research suggests possible benefits for memory, mood, and hair growth, but the evidence is limited and far from conclusive. Concentrated supplements and the essential oil should be used carefully, and the essential oil should never be swallowed.
