Sorafenib brand name: Nexavar.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Rupturewort and Sorafenib 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 label for Sorafenib states a food rule worth keeping to.

Rupturewort and Sorafenib

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 Sorafenib and Rupturewort 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.

Rupturewort safety at a glance

Rupturewort overall Use caution Limited safety data exist, so use carefully and under professional guidance.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; traditional diuretic use makes it best avoided in pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data, so it is best to avoid while breastfeeding.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Sorafenib

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Sorafenib is filed under 4 classifications — including anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs, glucuronidated drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Rupturewort has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being lithium (moderate) — and none of Sorafenib’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 Sorafenib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Rupturewort. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Sorafenib’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. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Weight loss
  • Reduced appetite mentioned in 7.0% of FDA reports for Sorafenib
  • Hair loss
  • Diarrhea mentioned in 14.3% of FDA reports for Sorafenib
  • Tiredness mentioned in 8.7% of FDA reports for Sorafenib
  • A skin rash mentioned in 7.1% of FDA reports for Sorafenib

Showing the 10 most notable of 11 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 Sorafenib. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 20,576 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Sorafenib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Rupturewort’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Rupturewort side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Rupturewort has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Sorafenib Products Have a Food Rule — Rupturewort Should Not Break It

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

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage is 400 mg orally twice daily without food.

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Sorafenib page

“If you're on sorafenib (Nexavar) for cancer, be genuinely careful here, and learn the five major-rated entries first. Most of the 285 ingredients listed either have blood-thinning effects that stack onto sorafenib's bleeding risk (more than 200 do) or affect CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that clears the drug, pushing its level too high or t…”

About Rupturewort

What is Rupturewort?

  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Mild fluid retention (as a diuretic)
  • Kidney and bladder support
  • Wound healing and inflammation (topical, traditional)
  • Spasms or cramping (traditional)

Rupturewort is a traditional European herb mainly used as a mild diuretic and for urinary complaints. Solid human research is very limited, so its true benefits and long-term safety are not well established. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Herniaria glabra · Caryophyllaceae · Aerial parts (the above-ground flowering herb) · Tea, dried herb, tincture, capsules

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

Rupturewort: dosing

There is no well-established or standardized dose for rupturewort. Traditional use involves brewing the dried herb as a tea, but reliable dosing guidance from clinical research does not exist.If you choose to use a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Sorafenib

What Is Sorafenib Used For?

Brand name: Nexavar

Sorafenib tablets are approved to treat three types of cancer. The first is unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) — liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The second is advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) — kidney cancer that has spread or progressed. Both the brand Nexavar and generic sorafenib tablets are approved for these two uses.

The third use is for locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) — thyroid cancer that has spread or worsened and no longer responds to radioactive iodine treatment. Nexavar and sorafenib tablets are both approved for this use as well.

Taking Rupturewort and Sorafenib Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Rupturewort with Sorafenib?
We do not list a known interaction between Rupturewort and Sorafenib. 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 Rupturewort and Sorafenib at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Sorafenib 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.

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.
How was the Rupturewort and Sorafenib combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Sorafenib is filed under 4 classifications, and Rupturewort has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Sorafenib'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.

Yes. Rupturewort has 1 documented drug interaction in our database — Sorafenib is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Sorafenib interact with any supplements?
