HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Resmetirom

Resmetirom falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Wine interacts with.

Concomitant use of alcohol with hepatotoxic drugs may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Concomitant use of excessive amounts of alcohol with potentially hepatotoxic drugs can increase the risk of liver damage.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence C

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, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing about Rezdiffra (resmetirom): it's prescribed for a liver condition called MASH (fatty liver with inflammation), so your liver is already the whole reason you're taking it. This medicine can occasionally stress the liver, which is why your doctor checks liver enzymes before and during treatment. Adding wine puts another burden on that same organ, and the two together may raise your risk of liver injury.

Watch for warning signs like yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, right-side belly pain, unusual tiredness, or nausea. This isn't about one occasional sip, but regular or heavy drinking is where the real concern lies. Please talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what, if any, alcohol is safe for you while you're on this drug.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Resmetirom

This page covers Wine only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Resmetirom page lists 65 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), African Wild Potato (moderate) and Ashwagandha (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 50 moderate · 11 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Resmetirom page

“Siberian cocklebur has been linked to outright liver failure, which makes it an especially poor companion for resmetirom (Rezdiffra), a medicine given because the liver is already damaged by MASH. I would treat every pairing on this page with real care.”

About Wine

What is Wine?

  • Social and relaxation use
  • Heart health (popular belief)
  • Antioxidant intake
  • Aiding digestion (traditional use)
  • Culinary flavoring

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes and is not a true dietary supplement or medicine. Despite popular claims about heart benefits, the alcohol it contains carries real health risks, and no amount of drinking can be recommended to improve health. If you drink, do so in moderation, and avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy or if you have certain medical conditions.
