Celery and Macitentan, Tadalafil

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Macitentan, Tadalafil

Macitentan, Tadalafil falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Celery interacts with.

Theoretically, celery seed extract might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Clinical research suggests that taking celery seed extract may reduce daytime systolic blood pressure by about 12 mmHg compared to less than 1 mmHg with placebo.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence B

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Opsynvi combines two medicines that both lower blood pressure inside the lungs and body: macitentan (which relaxes blood vessels) and tadalafil (the same active ingredient as Cialis, which also opens up vessels). Celery seed extract seems to gently lower blood pressure on its own, so pairing the two could add up to a bigger drop than you expect.

In real life, that might show up as lightheadedness, dizziness when you stand up, headache, flushing, or feeling washed out. This isn't about celery in your soup or salad, that amount is fine. It's the concentrated seed extract capsules that matter. Please don't change anything on your own. Just let your pharmacist or doctor know before adding celery supplements so they can watch your blood pressure.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Macitentan, Tadalafil page

“Opsynvi pairs macitentan and tadalafil to lower pressure in the lung arteries, so anything that drops blood pressure further or shifts how the body handles these drugs deserves genuine respect, and I would read this list carefully. Ten of the 264 ingredients rate major, and most of the rest fall into two camps: additive blood-pressure-…”

About Celery

What is Celery?

Celery
  • High blood pressure
  • Fluid retention (diuretic)
  • Joint pain and inflammation
  • Anxiety and sleep
  • Digestive support

Celery is a common vegetable that is also taken as a seed extract or oil supplement, mainly for blood pressure, fluid retention, and joint discomfort. Human evidence for these supplement uses is limited and mostly preliminary, so it should not replace proven treatments. Celery is generally safe as food, but concentrated supplements and possible allergic reactions warrant caution.
