No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Dimethylglycine (dmg) and Midazolam in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist.

Dimethylglycine (dmg) and Midazolam

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 Midazolam 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 Midazolam, 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 Midazolam’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 Midazolam’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.

  • Cough
  • Drowsiness
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Midazolam. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 29,268 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Midazolam 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.

Overlapping uses

What Midazolam Is Prescribed For, and What Dimethylglycine (dmg) Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Midazolam is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Dimethylglycine (dmg) is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Midazolam is prescribed for: Midazolam is used in several different forms depending on the setting. Injectable midazolam (given by IV or IM shot) is used before and during surgery or procedures — such as endoscopy, cardiac catheterization, or bronchoscopy — to cause sedation, reduce anxiety, and prevent memory of the event. It can also be used to start general anesthesia or to keep heavily sedated, ventilated patients comfortable in a critical care unit. Midazolam HCl oral syrup is used specifically in children for sedation and anxiety relief before procedures or anesthesia induction, in a monitored medical setting only.

Read the rest of what Midazolam is prescribed for

Nayzilam nasal spray is indicated for a different purpose: the acute treatment of seizure clusters (also called acute repetitive seizures) in people aged 12 and older who have epilepsy. It is used intermittently — not as a daily seizure medicine — when a cluster of seizures breaks through the person's usual pattern.

Dimethylglycine (dmg) has been studied for:

  • Epilepsy studied, not established Dimethylglycine (dmg) has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Dimethylglycine (dmg) for epilepsy

    It is unclear if oral dimethylglycine is beneficial in patients with frequent generalized or myoclonic seizures.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Midazolam on your own; if you are taking Dimethylglycine (dmg) for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Midazolam

This page covers Dimethylglycine (dmg) only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Midazolam page lists 202 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Bitter Orange (major) and Fever Bark (major).

By severity: 11 major · 153 moderate · 38 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Midazolam page

“Sedation stacked on sedation is the headline risk with midazolam (Versed, Seizalam, Nayzilam). Midazolam is a benzodiazepine used for sedation and seizure emergencies, and 78 of the 202 interacting ingredients here, beer and wine included, add their own drowsiness, which can slide into dangerously slowed breathing.”

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. Products vary widely in strength and in the directions they give.The safest approach is to follow the dosing instructions on the product label and not exceed them.
