Water Germander and Entrectinib

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 Entrectinib and Water Germander 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Water Germander at all — not against Entrectinib, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What Entrectinib’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Water Germander. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Entrectinib’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Loss of vision Worth acting on
  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 53 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 Entrectinib. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,653 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Entrectinib that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Water Germander’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Water Germander side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Water Germander has no side effects.

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Water Germander is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Water Germander reference on this page ↓

About Water Germander

What is Water Germander?

  • Digestive upset
  • Weight loss aids
  • Fever
  • Oral hygiene and mouthwash
  • Gout

Water germander (often sold as the related plant wall germander, Teucrium chamaedrys) is a Mediterranean herb traditionally used for digestion and other ailments. Its oral use has been clearly linked to serious liver damage, including hepatitis and even death, so it is considered likely unsafe to take by mouth. We recommend avoiding it and talking to your pharmacist or doctor about safer options.

Teucrium chamaedrys · Lamiaceae · Aerial parts (leaves, flowering tops) · Tea, capsules, tinctures, liquid extracts

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

Water Germander: dosing

Always read product labels carefully, since germander is sometimes hidden in herbal blends or weight-loss products.

About Entrectinib

What Is Entrectinib Used For?

Brand name: Rozlytrek

Rozlytrek (entrectinib) is used to treat adult patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as confirmed by an FDA-approved test. It is also approved for adult and pediatric patients older than 1 month of age who have solid tumors — any cancer type — that carry an NTRK gene fusion detected by an FDA-approved test, provided the tumor has no known acquired resistance mutation, is metastatic or cannot be surgically removed without severe harm, and has progressed after prior treatment or has no satisfactory alternative therapy.

The NTRK gene fusion approval in solid tumors was granted under accelerated approval, meaning it is based on tumor response rates. Continued approval may depend on results from confirmatory clinical trials.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Entrectinib

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,653 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Dizziness 150 reports
Disease progression 117 reports
Taste disorder 71 reports
Constipation 66 reports
Blood creatinine increased 62 reports
