Foods to avoid with Sprycel

When taking Sprycel (dasatinib), it’s important to be mindful of your diet to ensure the medication is effective and to avoid potential interactions with certain foods. Here is a list of foods to avoid or limit while taking Sprycel:

  1. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interfere with the way your body processes Sprycel, potentially increasing the amount of the medication in your bloodstream and increasing the risk of side effects.
  2. High-fat foods: High-fat foods can also affect how your body processes Sprycel. It’s best to avoid consuming large amounts of high-fat foods, especially around the time you take your medication.
  3. Alcohol: Alcohol can interact with Sprycel and may increase the risk of liver damage. It’s advisable to limit alcohol consumption or avoid it altogether while taking Sprycel.
  4. Licorice: Licorice contains compounds that can affect potassium levels in the body, which can be problematic when taking Sprycel. It’s best to avoid excessive consumption of licorice.
  5. St. John’s wort: St. John’s wort is an herbal supplement that can reduce the effectiveness of Sprycel. Avoid using St. John’s wort while taking Sprycel unless directed by your healthcare provider.
  6. High-calcium foods: Sprycel can sometimes lead to high levels of calcium in the blood. While it’s important to maintain a diet rich in calcium for bone health, it’s advisable to avoid excessive consumption of high-calcium foods or supplements without consulting your healthcare provider.
  7. High-potassium foods: Some cancer treatments, including Sprycel, can cause high levels of potassium in the blood. While potassium is essential for health, it’s advisable to avoid excessive consumption of high-potassium foods, such as bananas, oranges, potatoes, and tomatoes, without consulting your healthcare provider.

It’s always a good idea to discuss your diet with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian, especially when starting a new medication like Sprycel. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health needs and medication regimen.
