CYP2D6 and CYP2C9 rank second and third, respectively, in the number of drugs affected.[12] © 2015 Rising Tide Variable inhibitory effect of different brands of commercial herbal supplements on human CYP3A4 • Among the supplements tested, Green Tea Extract produced the most pronounced inhibition of CYP3A4, which ranged from 5.6% by Nature's Resource to 89.9% by Natrol Green Tea Extract (GTE) product. • This study suggests that GTE use may cause significant interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. • However, the effect on CYP3A4 varied among different brands of GTE, possibly due to variations in their content of the herbal product's active ingredients. [13] • Botanicals pose the highest risk for interactions and thus require the most vigilance. © 2015 Rising Tide Figure 1. Approach to patients taking a particular herbal product Scenario 1 Is the patient currently receiving cytotoxic, targeted, or immunotherapy? No Yes High risk for drug-herb interaction. Discuss risk with patient. Where appropriate, suggest nonherbal alternative for side effect mitigation, immune function support, and/or improving quality of life Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Is the patient currently on hormonal or androgen deprivation therapy? Is the patient currently off chemotherapy or on a drug holiday? Yes Similar to Scenario 1. High risk for drugherb interaction. Discuss risk with patient. Where appropriate, suggest non-herbal options. No Scenario 4 No Yes If they not taking other medications with a narrow therapeutic index/ high risk for adverse effects (e.g. methadone, warfarin, benzodiazepines), consider allowing them to take herbal products during the drug holiday. Recommend that they discontinue herbal products at least 7 days prior to returning for re-evaluation to allow a sufficient wash out period should they need to resume anti-cancer therapy at their follow up visit. If the patient is on medications that may pose a risk, recommend non-herbal options and discuss the relative risks. © 2015 Rising Tide Has the patient completed therapy or does not need therapy at this time? Yes Similar to Scenario 3, as long as the patient is not on other medications that may pose a risk, consider allowing use of herbal products. If the patient has a hormone-sensitive cancer, advise against the use of any herbs with estrogenic potential.
