Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Palbociclib and Sorrel. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Pharmacist Analysis
Sorrel has few documented, clinically significant, drug interactions. Preliminary research in animals indicates it may interact with antiplatelet drugs and drugs that are a substrate for transporter proteins known as OATPs (Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides).
It is unlikely sorrel has clinically significant drug interactions, and there is no known drug interaction between the drug in this monograph and sorrel. As always however, be sure to let your doctor know about all the medications you are taking so you can be appropriately monitored.

Palbociclib Overview
-
Palbociclib is used in combination with anastrozole (Arimidex), exemestane (Aromasin), or letrozole (Femara) to treat a certain type of hormone receptor–positive, advanced breast cancer (breast cancer that depends on hormones such as estrogen to grow) or breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in women who have experienced menopause (change of life; end of monthly menstrual periods) or in men. Palbociclib is also used along with fulvestrant (Faslodex) to treat a certain type of hormone receptor–positive, advanced breast cancer (breast cancer that depends on hormones such as estrogen to grow) or breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in people who have been treated with an antiestrogen medication such as tamoxifen (Nolvadex). Palbociclib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.
