Drug & supplement interaction

1,3-dmaa + Teriflunomide

Teriflunomide brand name: Aubagio.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between 1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Teriflunomide and 1,3-dmaa in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

1,3-dmaa safety at a glance

1,3-dmaa overall Avoid DMAA is banned in supplements in many countries and tied to serious cardiovascular harm.
Pregnancy Avoid It is an unsafe stimulant with no safety data; do not use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No safety data and known stimulant risks; do not use while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Teriflunomide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Teriflunomide is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inducers, hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. 1,3-dmaa has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates (moderate) and stimulant drugs (moderate) — and none of Teriflunomide’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests 1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

    “Due to the stimulant effects of 1,3-DMAA, there is concern that it might increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events similar to synephrine from bitter orange or ephedrine from ephedra. Cardiovascular outcomes have rarely been assessed in patients taking 1,3-DMAA alone. Most adverse effects are linked to 1,3-DMAA-containing combination products.”

Reported for 1,3-dmaa but not commonly for Teriflunomide: a fast or pounding heartbeat, an irregular heartbeat, blurred vision and a stroke or mini-stroke.

Effects for Teriflunomide come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for 1,3-dmaa come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 44,823 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Teriflunomide that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Teriflunomide

This page covers 1,3-dmaa only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Teriflunomide page lists 56 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Wine (major) and Ashwagandha (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 43 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Teriflunomide page

“Nearly every supplement risk with teriflunomide (Aubagio) points at the liver. This multiple sclerosis medicine already carries its own warning for liver injury, so I treat this page as one to respect rather than skim.”

About 1,3-dmaa

What is 1,3-dmaa?

1,3-dmaa
  • Energy and stimulation
  • Pre-workout performance
  • Weight loss
  • Appetite suppression
  • Focus and concentration

DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine) is a synthetic stimulant that was sold in pre-workout and weight-loss supplements but has been linked to serious harm, including high blood pressure, heart problems, strokes, and deaths. The U.S. FDA and regulators in many countries have declared it illegal and unsafe in dietary supplements, so it should be avoided.

Synthetic compound (not a true plant part); sometimes claimed to come from geranium · Capsules, tablets, pre-workout powders (often as a hidden ingredient)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 1,3-dmaa is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 1,3-dmaa record says about it on its own.

1,3-dmaa: dosing

There is no safe or established dose of DMAA. It is not approved as a dietary supplement ingredient, and we do not recommend taking it in any amount.Because DMAA may be hidden in some products, the safest approach is to avoid pre-workout or weight-loss supplements that list ingredients like dimethylamylamine, methylhexanamine, or Geranamine.

Taking 1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take 1,3-dmaa with Teriflunomide?
We do not list a known interaction between 1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do 1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 8 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the 1,3-dmaa and Teriflunomide combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Teriflunomide is filed under 3 classifications, and 1,3-dmaa has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Teriflunomide's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does 1,3-dmaa interact with any other medications?
Yes. 1,3-dmaa has 321 documented drug interactions in our database — Teriflunomide is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Teriflunomide interact with any supplements?
Yes. Teriflunomide has documented interactions with 56 supplements in our database — 1,3-dmaa is not one of them. The Teriflunomide interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
