Drug & supplement interaction

Adenosine + Isoniazid

Isoniazid brand names: Laniazid, INH, Nydrazid.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Adenosine and Isoniazid 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

Adenosine and Isoniazid

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 Isoniazid and Adenosine 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.

Adenosine safety at a glance

Adenosine overall Use caution Oral supplement evidence is limited; the prescription injectable form is powerful and must only be given by medical professionals.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety information for supplement use, so it is best avoided.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety has not been established, so avoid supplement 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 Isoniazid

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Isoniazid is filed under 8 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inhibitors. Adenosine has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being dipyridamole (persantine) (major), carbamazepine (tegretol) (moderate) and methylxanthines (minor) — and none of Isoniazid’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.

Keep it in perspective

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Adenosine and Isoniazid 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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Seizures Worth acting on Additional detail

    Adenosine

    “Rapid intravenous injection of adenosine can cause headache, lightheadedness, insomnia, and anxiety. New onset seizures, including tonic-clonic seizures, have also occurred (15). Intrathecally, adenosine has been reported to cause headache.”

Effects for Isoniazid come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Adenosine come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 16,103 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Isoniazid 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.

This page covers Adenosine only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Isoniazid page lists 84 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 Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 67 moderate · 13 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Isoniazid page

“The liver does most of the worrying here. Isoniazid, a backbone of tuberculosis treatment, is already hard on the liver by itself, and 38 of the supplements on this list can add strain, from Siberian cocklebur, a major-rated entry, to everyday herbs like ashwagandha and black cohosh.”

About Adenosine

What is Adenosine?

Adenosine
  • Energy and cellular function support
  • Athletic performance and muscle energy
  • Circulation support
  • General wellness

Adenosine is a natural building block your body uses for energy and cell signaling, and a prescription injectable version is used by doctors to treat certain fast heart rhythms. As an over-the-counter supplement (often sold as AMP or ATP), there is little strong evidence that swallowing it boosts energy or performance, and quality can vary. Talk to your pharmacist before using adenosine supplements, especially if you have a heart condition.

Naturally occurring purine nucleoside found in all body cells; supplement forms are made synthetically · Tablets, capsules, sublingual tablets, powders (often as AMP or ATP); prescription injectable form (separate from supplements)

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

Adenosine: dosing

There is no established standard dose for adenosine supplements. Products vary widely in form (AMP, ATP, or adenosine) and in the amounts they contain.If you choose to use a supplement, follow the directions on the product label and do not take more than recommended. Because supplements are not tightly regulated, quality and actual content can differ between brands; choosing products that have been independently tested can help.The prescription injectable dose is determined and given by a doctor and does not apply to supplement use.

About Isoniazid

What Is Isoniazid Used For?

Brand names: Laniazid, INH, Nydrazid

Isoniazid is used to treat all forms of tuberculosis (TB) caused by susceptible bacteria. Because TB bacteria can quickly become resistant to a single drug, isoniazid must always be combined with other anti-TB medications when treating active TB — it is never used alone for active disease.

Isoniazid is also used as preventive therapy (sometimes called latent TB treatment) for people who have a positive TB skin test but do not yet have active disease. This includes people with HIV infection, close contacts of someone with active TB, recent TB skin test converters, and people with certain medical conditions — such as silicosis, diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease, leukemia, or Hodgkin's disease — that raise their TB risk.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Isoniazid

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (16,103 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fever 1,102 reports
Nausea 903 reports
Drug-induced liver injury 862 reports
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms 744 reports

Taking Adenosine and Isoniazid Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Adenosine with Isoniazid?
We do not list a known interaction between Adenosine and Isoniazid. 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 Adenosine and Isoniazid have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 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 Adenosine and Isoniazid combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Isoniazid is filed under 8 classifications, and Adenosine has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Isoniazid'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 Adenosine interact with any other medications?
Yes. Adenosine has 47 documented drug interactions in our database — Isoniazid 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 Isoniazid interact with any supplements?
Yes. Isoniazid has documented interactions with 84 supplements in our database — Adenosine is not one of them. The Isoniazid interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
