Yin Chen and Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir

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 Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir and Yin Chen 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir is filed under 7 classifications — including cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inhibitors, p-glycoprotein substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates. Yin Chen has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being cns depressants (moderate) and pentobarbital (nembutal) (moderate) — and none of Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir page

“Technivie (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir) treats hepatitis C, and because a cure depends on holding steady drug levels for the whole course, this list warrants genuine care. Most of the 154 ingredients on file touch the CYP3A4 enzyme pathway, meaning they can push the drug's blood levels up or down.”

About Yin Chen

What is Yin Chen?

Yin Chen
  • Liver and gallbladder support
  • Jaundice (traditional use)
  • Digestive complaints
  • Skin conditions (topical)
  • Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial purposes

Yin Chen is a traditional Chinese medicine herb used mainly for liver and gallbladder complaints and jaundice. Most of the evidence comes from laboratory and animal studies, so its benefits in people are not well proven. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have a liver condition, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Artemisia capillaris · Asteraceae · Aerial parts (young shoots and leaves) · Tea, dried herb, powdered extract, capsules, topical washes, and traditional herbal formulas (such as Inchinko-to/Yin Chen Hao Tang)

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

Yin Chen: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose of Yin Chen for any condition. Traditional preparations and modern products vary widely in strength and form.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them. Avoid guessing your own dose.

About Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir, and Ritonavir

What Is Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir, and Ritonavir Used For?

Brand name: Technivie

  • The combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir is usually used in combination with ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol), but sometimes it is used alone to treat a certain type of chronic (long-term) hepatitis C infection (swelling of the liver caused by a virus). Ombitasvir is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor. It works by stopping the virus that causes hepatitis C from spreading inside the body. Paritaprevir is a protease inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of HCV in the body. Ritonavir is a protease inhibitor. It helps to increase the amount of paritaprevir in the body so that the medication will have a greater effect. It is not known if ombitasvir, paritaprevir, or ritonavir prevent the spread of hepatitis C to other people.
