HelloPharmacist Bottom Line
Our Pharmacist Explains
What is this? The interaction data in the HelloPharmacist supplement database is licensed from Natural Medicines Pro by TRC Healthcare (Therapeutic Research). HelloPharmacist pharmacists often add our own analysis and context on top of that licensed data — such as this Bottom Line summary and the notes on individual interaction pages — and any such commentary is noted as ours.

Alectinib (Alecensa) treats ALK-positive lung cancer, and because your liver already has to tolerate this drug, check this page before adding any supplement, not after. Of the 74 ingredients on file, 38 can add stress to the liver, and three of the four major-rated entries (beer, wine, and Siberian cocklebur) are the clearest examples of that risk. Alcohol with alectinib is the pairing I would rule out entirely.

The fourth major is activated charcoal, which can soak up the medicine in your gut so less reaches your bloodstream. Sixteen other orally taken ingredients, glucomannan among them, raise a similar absorption concern, so keep bulky or binding products well separated from your dose and let the full report guide the details. Another 20 can add to sun sensitivity, something alectinib can cause on its own. Sixty entries are moderate and ten minor, but the liver group deserves your attention most.

What Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean

Severity — How Serious It Can Be

  • Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
  • Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
  • Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
  • No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.

Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented

  • Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
  • Probable. 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.
  • Possible. 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
  • Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

Where This Data Comes From

  • Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
  • Each entry links to a full report with the clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations for that exact combination.
  • Content is reviewed by licensed HelloPharmacist pharmacists — see our data sources and editorial standards.

How Does Our Interaction Checker Work?

Behind every verdict on this page is a category system. Our source database doesn’t document supplement interactions drug-by-drug — it documents them against groups of medications that behave the same way (for example, “drugs processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme” or “blood-thinning medications”).

So the check works in three steps: (1) Alectinib Hydrochloride is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Alectinib Hydrochloride, and (3) each ingredient keeps its own severity, likelihood, and evidence grades from the underlying record. That’s why one supplement can carry several records for one drug — it may interact through more than one category.

Alectinib Hydrochloride sits in 3 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:

Hepatotoxic Drugs 38 ingredients

Medications with known liver considerations. Supplements that can stress the liver add to the load.

38 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Alectinib Hydrochloride through this category.

Photosensitizing Drugs 20 ingredients

Medications that make skin more sun-sensitive. Supplements with the same property can compound it.

20 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Alectinib Hydrochloride through this category.

Oral Drugs 17 ingredients

A pharmacology grouping from our source database: medications in this group share a property that certain supplements are known to interact with, so an interaction documented for the group applies to every drug in it.

17 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Alectinib Hydrochloride through this category.

Alectinib Hydrochloride & Supplements: Common Questions

What supplements interact with Alectinib Hydrochloride?
Our database currently documents 74 ingredients with a known Alectinib Hydrochloride interaction (4 major, 60 moderate, 10 minor). The practical move: scan the major group first, then look up the exact supplements you take rather than reading all 74. The highest-ranked right now: Siberian Cocklebur, Activated Charcoal, Beer.
Which Alectinib Hydrochloride supplement interactions are the most serious?
The 4 major-rated combinations — led by Siberian Cocklebur, Activated Charcoal, Beer and Wine — deserve real caution: these are the ones generally best avoided, or used only with your prescriber watching. If you take any of them today, don't panic and don't stop anything abruptly — call your pharmacist first. Jump to the ranked list.
Can I take vitamins or supplements while on Alectinib Hydrochloride?
Plenty of supplements coexist fine with Alectinib Hydrochloride; a shorter list does not. Rather than memorizing it, check the specific ingredients on your labels — the ranked list above covers every one we've checked, and multi-ingredient products can be checked label-by-label with our scanner. Try the label scanner or the interaction checker.
Do brands like Alecensa have the same supplement interactions as Alectinib Hydrochloride?
Yes — Alecensa all contain Alectinib Hydrochloride, so everything on this page applies to them equally. Interactions belong to the active drug, never to the brand on the box; the same is true of generics.
Where do these interaction ratings come from?
Every rating comes from the Natural Medicines database — the same evidence-graded reference pharmacists and hospitals use — and each interaction carries three separate grades: severity (how bad it can be), likelihood (how well it's documented in studies and case reports), and an evidence level. Our pharmacists review the content; we never let an AI decide an interaction. See how to read the ratings and our editorial policy.
What about Alectinib Hydrochloride and my other medications?
This page covers Alectinib Hydrochloride against supplements and herbal ingredients. Checking Alectinib Hydrochloride against your other prescription or OTC medications is a different tool — our drug interaction checker covers that side.
