Agmatine and Felodipine

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Felodipine

Felodipine 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

Here's the simple version: felodipine already lowers your blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels. Agmatine, at least in animal studies, may nudge your blood pressure and heart rate down a little too. Stack the two and there's a theoretical chance your pressure could dip lower than intended.

If that happened, you might feel lightheaded, dizzy, tired, or off-balance, especially when standing up quickly. I want to be honest though: this concern comes from lab and animal research, not solid human studies, so it's more of a 'keep an eye out' than a red alert. If you'd like to try agmatine, check in with your pharmacist or doctor first, and let them know if you notice any dizziness so they can review things with you.

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.
