Interaction Details
Ribociclib Succinate is classified as belonging to the following category: Oral Drugs
Food and medications can interfere with thyroid hormone absorption. Some foods, particularly those high in fiber or containing certain minerals like calcium or iron, can bind to thyroid hormones and reduce their absorption in the digestive tract. Additionally, taking thyroid medications with certain drugs, like antacids or calcium supplements, can hinder the effectiveness of the thyroid medication, necessitating adjustments in dosage or timing. Prescription thyroid medications, such as Synthroid, are recommended to be taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food and other medications, for optimal absorption.

Thyroid Extract Overview
Thyroid extract supplements are designed to support thyroid function. They are derived from animal thyroid gland tissue and may contain dried and/or ground raw tissue or extracts from these tissues. These supplements are rich in both triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), natural thyroid hormones. People with thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism, may use them to help regulate hormone levels and alleviate symptoms like fatigue and weight gain. Their use is controversial due to inconsistent dosages and the absence of standardization.

Ribociclib is also used in combination with fulvestrant (Faslodex) to treat a certain type of hormone receptor–positive advanced breast cancer or that has spread to other parts of the body as an initial treatment or in people who have not been treated successfully with other treatments in women who have already experienced menopause. Ribociclib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells.
