Antineoplastons/Drug Interactions:

  • GeneralGeneral: Limited information is available about interactions with antineoplastons. Agents with adverse effects similar to antineoplastons may have additive effects, such as lowering blood potassium or causing liver abnormalities.
  • Chemotherapeutic agentsChemotherapeutic agents: There is a possibility that antineoplastons and chemotherapeutic drugs are additive.
  • Hypokalemia-inducing drugsHypokalemia-inducing drugs: Due to the potential of antineoplastons to induce hypokalemia, additive effects may occur (8).
  • Oral hypoglycemic/anti-hyperglycemic drugsOral hypoglycemic/anti-hyperglycemic drugs: Due to the potential of antineoplastons to induce hypoglycemia, additive effects may occur (8).
  • Phenyl acetatePhenyl acetate: Phenyl acetate enhances the antitumor effects of suramin (39). Suramin (Bayer 205) is used in the treatment of African sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis) and river blindness (onchocerciasis), infections caused by parasites.
