The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between 1,3-dmba and Dicloxacillin Injection 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 label for Dicloxacillin Injection states a food rule worth keeping to.

Interaction report

1,3-dmba and Dicloxacillin Injection

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 Dicloxacillin Injection and 1,3-dmba 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dicloxacillin Injection

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dicloxacillin Injection is filed under 3 classifications — antibiotic drugs, nephrotoxic drugs, seizure threshold lowering drugs. 1,3-dmba has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being stimulant drugs (moderate) and cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates (minor) — and none of Dicloxacillin Injection’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

What 1,3-dmba Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Dicloxacillin Injection. It is the side-effect record for 1,3-dmba on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add 1,3-dmba, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A heart attack Worth acting on Additional detail

    “There is currently a limited amount of information available about the adverse effects of 1,3-DMBA. However, the closely related chemical 1,3-DMAA has been linked to serious adverse effects in humans, including lactic acidosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and death.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for 1,3-dmba — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dicloxacillin Injection’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Dicloxacillin Injection column appears here.

How to take them

Some Dicloxacillin Injection Products Have a Food Rule — 1,3-dmba Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Dicloxacillin Injection says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — 1,3-dmba included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Dicloxacillin Injection on its own and move 1,3-dmba to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Dicloxacillin Injection products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

Patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lbs) DRUG ADULTS CHILDREN Mild to Moderate Severe Mild to Moderate Severe Dicloxacillin 125 mg every 6 hours 250 mg every 6 hours 12.5 mg/kg/day 1 in equally divided doses every 6 hours 25 mg/kg/day 1 in equally divided doses every 6 hours Dicloxacillin is best absorbed when taken on an empty stomach, and should be administered at least 1 hour before or 2 hour

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Dicloxacillin Injection — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's.

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Dicloxacillin Injection

This page covers 1,3-dmba only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Dicloxacillin Injection page lists 39 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Asarabacca (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Aristolochia (moderate), Bacillus Coagulans (moderate) and Bacillus Subtilis (moderate).

By severity: 2 major · 35 moderate · 2 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dicloxacillin Injection page

“Dicloxacillin Injection (Dynapen) is a penicillin antibiotic used against serious bacterial infections, and this list earns real caution, chiefly for its two major-rated entries. Siberian cocklebur and asarabacca can each damage the kidneys, and pairing them with other kidney-stressing substances risks compounding that harm, so I would…”

About 1,3-dmba

What is 1,3-dmba?

  • Athletic and workout performance
  • Energy and stimulation
  • Weight loss and fat burning
  • Appetite suppression
  • Focus and concentration

1,3-DMBA is a synthetic stimulant chemically similar to the banned stimulant DMAA, and it is not a proven or safe dietary ingredient. The U.S. FDA considers supplements containing it adulterated, and it is banned in sports. Because of serious heart and stroke risks, it is best to avoid products that contain it.

Synthetic chemical (sometimes claimed to come from plants such as Coreopsis tinctoria or pouchong tea) · Capsules, tablets, and powders (pre-workout, fat-burner, and weight-loss products)

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

1,3-dmba: dosing

There is no safe or established dose of 1,3-DMBA. It is not an approved supplement ingredient, and the amounts in products are unregulated and may vary widely.Because of the real risk of serious harm, no recommended dose can be given. The safest amount is none.

Taking 1,3-dmba and Dicloxacillin Injection Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take 1,3-dmba with Dicloxacillin Injection?
We do not list a known interaction between 1,3-dmba and Dicloxacillin Injection. 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.
Should I take 1,3-dmba and Dicloxacillin Injection at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Dicloxacillin Injection says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Dicloxacillin Injection on its own and move 1,3-dmba to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the 1,3-dmba and Dicloxacillin Injection combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Dicloxacillin Injection is filed under 3 classifications, and 1,3-dmba has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — none of Dicloxacillin Injection'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-dmba interact with any other medications?
Yes. 1,3-dmba has 321 documented drug interactions in our database — Dicloxacillin Injection is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
