Dimethylglycine (dmg) and Clozapine

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 Clozapine and Dimethylglycine (dmg) 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 Dimethylglycine (dmg) at all — not against Clozapine, 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 Clozapine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Dimethylglycine (dmg). These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Clozapine’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. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on mentioned in 18.7% of FDA reports for Clozapine
  • Severe muscle breakdown Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 50 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 Clozapine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 124,830 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Clozapine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Dimethylglycine (dmg)’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Dimethylglycine (dmg) side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Dimethylglycine (dmg) has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clozapine page

“Clozapine (Clozaril, Versacloz) is usually the last-resort antipsychotic for schizophrenia, prescribed under close monitoring because small shifts in its blood level matter, so the 212 supplement interactions on file here deserve genuine care rather than a quick skim. Six are rated major.”

About Dimethylglycine (dmg)

What is Dimethylglycine (dmg)?

  • Athletic performance and energy
  • Autism spectrum support
  • Immune support
  • Seizure disorders
  • General wellness and detox support

Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a substance made naturally in the body and found in small amounts in foods. It is marketed for energy, athletic performance, autism, and immune support, but solid human evidence for most of these uses is limited. It appears generally well tolerated in short-term use, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Not applicable (a naturally occurring amino acid derivative) · Tablets, capsules, chewable tablets, sublingual tablets, powder

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

Dimethylglycine (dmg): dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose of DMG.

About Clozapine

What Is Clozapine Used For?

Brand names: Clozaril, Versacloz

Clozapine is used for two specific situations. First, it is prescribed for people with severe schizophrenia who have already tried other antipsychotic medications and have not gotten adequate relief. It is reserved for this group because of its serious risks.

Second, clozapine is used to lower the chances of repeated suicidal behavior in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are considered to be at ongoing, chronic risk. It is not a first-choice medication — it is used when the need is serious and other options have fallen short.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Clozapine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (124,830 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Neutropenia 18,897 reports
Hospitalisation 12,426 reports
Schizophrenia 4,692 reports
White blood cell count increased 4,508 reports
White blood cell count decreased 4,481 reports
