The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Aspartic Acid and Dalfampridine 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.

Aspartic Acid and Dalfampridine

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 Dalfampridine and Aspartic Acid 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Aspartic Acid at all — not against Dalfampridine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What Dalfampridine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Aspartic Acid. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dalfampridine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 5 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on mentioned in 22.3% of FDA reports for Dalfampridine
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Back pain
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Stomach upset
  • Tiredness mentioned in 7.8% of FDA reports for Dalfampridine

Showing the 10 most notable of 15 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dalfampridine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 71,315 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dalfampridine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Aspartic Acid’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Aspartic Acid side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Aspartic Acid has no side effects.

Special populations

Aspartic Acid in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally in amounts found in foods.

Pregnancy And Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When aspartic acid is used orally. In rodents, aspartic acid given orally within a few days of birth caused neuronal necrosis in the hypothalamus. This adverse effect was not seen in nonhuman newborn primates and has not been assessed in humans. Until more data is available, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Food and Nutrition Board advise that pregnant or breast-feeding women avoid the use of aspartic acid.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Dalfampridine

This page covers Aspartic Acid only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Dalfampridine page lists 23 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Biofeedback (moderate), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), Dendrobium (moderate) and European Mandrake (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 13 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dalfampridine page

“Activated charcoal is the entry I would put in front of anyone taking dalfampridine (Ampyra) for walking difficulty in multiple sclerosis. It is the only major-rated interaction among the 23 on this page, because charcoal can adsorb medication in the gut and cut how much reaches the bloodstream, and an unreliable dose is a real problem…”

About Aspartic Acid

What is Aspartic Acid?

Aspartic Acid
  • Testosterone support
  • Athletic performance and muscle building
  • Energy and endurance
  • General amino acid supplementation

Aspartic acid is a common amino acid your body makes on its own and gets from protein-rich foods, so a true deficiency is rare. D-aspartic acid is heavily marketed for boosting testosterone and athletic performance, but the evidence is mixed and many studies show little or no lasting benefit. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using high-dose supplements.

Amino acid (made in the body and found in protein-rich foods) · Capsules, tablets, powders (D-aspartic acid and L-aspartic acid), found in protein supplements

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

Aspartic Acid: dosing

There is no official or standardized dose of aspartic acid for any health purpose. Doses used in studies of D-aspartic acid have varied, and the best amount (if any) is not established.Because dosing is uncertain, the safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them. More is not necessarily better, and very high doses may not help and could even work against you.
