1,3-dmaa and Acetaminophen, Oxycodone

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Acetaminophen, Oxycodone

Acetaminophen, Oxycodone falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) SUBSTRATES — the group 1,3-dmaa interacts with.

1,3-DMAA strongly inhibits cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzymes in vitro. Theoretically, 1,3-DMAA can increase levels of CYP2D6 substrates. Some of drugs that are CYP2D6 substrates include amitriptyline (Elavil), clozapine (Clozaril), codeine, desipramine (Norpramin), donepezil (Aricept), fentanyl (Duragesic), flecainide (Tambocor), fluoxetine (Prozac), meperidine (Demerol), methadone (Dolophine), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), olanzapine (Zyprexa), ondansetron (Zofran), tramadol (Ultram), trazodone (Desyrel), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the wrinkle with your Percocet: the oxycodone part is handled in part by a liver enzyme called CYP2D6, which converts some of it into oxymorphone, a stronger active painkiller. In lab studies, DMAA appears to block that same enzyme. In theory, that could shift how much active opioid you make, but the practical effect is hard to predict, and oxycodone still works through other pathways even when CYP2D6 is slowed.

The bigger worry is the stimulant itself. DMAA can spike your blood pressure and heart rate, while oxycodone slows breathing and drops blood pressure. Stacking these opposing forces on your heart is risky. DMAA is also banned and considered unsafe. Please skip it, and check with your doctor or pharmacist.
