Sida Cordifolia and Glasdegib

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

Major

QT INTERVAL-PROLONGING DRUGS

Why this applies to Glasdegib

Glasdegib falls under QT INTERVAL-PROLONGING DRUGS — the group Sida Cordifolia interacts with.

Theoretically, Sida cordifolia might increase the risk of additive QT interval prolongation when taken with QT interval-prolonging drugs.
Sida cordifolia contains ephedrine. Clinical research shows that ephedrine from another herb, ephedra, can prolong the QT interval.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence B

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to know about pairing Sida cordifolia with glasdegib (Daurismo). Glasdegib is already known to stretch out the heart's electrical rhythm, something doctors call QT prolongation. Sida cordifolia contains ephedrine, a stimulant that can do the same thing. Stack the two together and you may add to that effect, which in rare cases can lead to a dangerous, irregular heartbeat (and symptoms like dizziness, fainting, or a racing heart).

This concern is partly theoretical and based on lower-quality evidence, so I don't want to scare you. But glasdegib is serious leukemia therapy where your team likely already watches your heart with EKGs. I'd skip this supplement and check with your oncologist or pharmacist before adding anything new.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Glasdegib page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would take off the table for anyone on glasdegib (Daurismo), a targeted pill for acute myeloid leukemia. It can push glasdegib levels up because the drug is cleared by the CYP3A4 enzyme, and 121 of the 146 ingredients touch that pathway, some raising its level and others, like St.”

About Sida Cordifolia

What is Sida Cordifolia?

Sida Cordifolia
  • Weight loss and energy
  • Asthma and breathing problems
  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Fever and cough
  • General fatigue or 'tonic'

Sida cordifolia (bala or country mallow) is a traditional Ayurvedic plant that naturally contains ephedrine, a powerful stimulant. Because of this, many supplements containing it have been banned or restricted, and it carries real risks to the heart and blood pressure. There is little reliable human evidence that it works, so most people should avoid it and talk with a pharmacist or doctor first.

About Glasdegib

What Is Glasdegib Used For?

Brand name: Daurismo

Daurismo (glasdegib) is approved to treat newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) — a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is used specifically in adults who are 75 years of age or older, or in adults of any age whose other health conditions make intensive induction chemotherapy too risky.

Daurismo is not used alone. It is always given together with low-dose cytarabine, a separate chemotherapy medicine, as part of a 28-day treatment cycle.
