Uva Ursi and Olutasidenib

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Olutasidenib

Olutasidenib falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Uva Ursi interacts with.

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.
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 short version: Olutasidenib (Rezlidihia) is a cancer pill your liver clears using an enzyme called CYP3A4. Lab studies hint that uva ursi may slow that same enzyme down. If that happened in a real person, your body might break down olutasidenib more slowly, letting it build up and possibly leading to stronger side effects like nausea, tiredness, low blood counts, or changes in your liver tests.

I want to be honest about the strength of this, though. This is only a test-tube finding, and it has not been seen in actual patients. It's more of a theoretical caution than a proven problem. Still, with a serious leukemia drug like this, please loop in your oncologist or pharmacist before adding uva ursi.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Olutasidenib page

“Olutasidenib (Rezlidihia) treats a form of acute myeloid leukemia, where keeping drug levels steady genuinely matters, so I'd approach this list with real care. Six of the 180 ingredients rate major, and they split into two problems: products that change how much olutasidenib reaches your blood, and products that strain the liver.”

About Uva Ursi

What is Uva Ursi?

Uva Ursi
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Urinary discomfort
  • Mild diuretic
  • Kidney stones
  • Skin conditions

Uva ursi is a traditional herb used mainly for urinary tract infections, and its leaves contain a compound called arbutin that may have antimicrobial effects in the urine. Evidence in people is limited, and because high doses or long-term use may be harmful to the liver and could be toxic, it should only be used short-term and with guidance from a healthcare professional. Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
