Agmatine and Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol

Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Agmatine interacts with.

Theoretically, agmatine might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that agmatine can modestly decrease heart rate and blood pressure.
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

Corzide pairs two blood pressure lowering medicines: nadolol (a beta-blocker) and bendroflumethiazide (a water pill). Both work to bring your numbers down, the nadolol partly by slowing your heart rate. Here's the thinking with agmatine: in animal studies it also nudged blood pressure and heart rate down a bit. So stacking it on top of Corzide could, in theory, push things a little too low.

I want to be upfront that this is theoretical, based mostly on lab and animal work, not solid human studies. Still, if you notice dizziness, lightheadedness when standing, unusual tiredness, or a slow pulse, those are worth paying attention to. Please run agmatine by your pharmacist or doctor before adding it, so they can keep an eye on your readings.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol page

“Green tea worries me most. In human studies it cut blood levels of nadolol by roughly 85 percent, enough to undermine Corzide (bendroflumethiazide with nadolol) as a blood pressure treatment, and it earns one of the 12 major ratings here.”

About Agmatine

What is Agmatine?

Agmatine
  • Pre- and post-workout support
  • Muscle pumps and exercise performance
  • Cognitive support and mood
  • Nerve pain
  • General well-being

Agmatine is a compound your body makes from the amino acid arginine, and it is sold mainly as a workout and 'pump' supplement. Human evidence for most of its claimed benefits is limited and preliminary, so its true effects are uncertain. If you want to try it, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first, especially if you have health conditions or take other medicines.
