Hemp and Nebivolol Hydrochloride, Valsartan

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

Minor

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Nebivolol Hydrochloride, Valsartan

Nebivolol Hydrochloride, Valsartan falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Hemp interacts with.

Theoretically, hemp seed protein may have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
In a hypertensive animal model, hemp seed protein hydrolysate reduced systolic blood pressure by a mechanism possibly involving the inhibition of renin and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities. However, there was no effect of hemp seed protein on blood pressure in normotensive animals. Furthermore, hempseed oil consumption does not seem to reduce blood pressure in humans.
Severity Minor Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

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

Here's the simple version: Byvalson combines two blood pressure medicines, nebivolol (a beta-blocker) and valsartan (an ARB). The concern with hemp is purely about blood pressure stacking, not about how your body breaks these drugs down. In one animal study, hemp seed protein lowered blood pressure a little by blocking the same kind of pathway valsartan works on. In theory, that could add to your medicine's effect.

In real life, this is very unlikely to cause trouble. Hemp didn't lower blood pressure in normal animals, and hemp oil hasn't lowered it in people. Eating hemp seeds as food shouldn't be an issue. If you use concentrated hemp supplements, just watch for dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint, and check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

About Hemp

What is Hemp?

Hemp
  • Plant-based protein source
  • Heart health support
  • Skin and hair health
  • Reducing inflammation
  • General nutrition (omega fatty acids)

Hemp seeds and hemp seed oil are nutritious foods rich in protein, fiber, and healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and they are generally safe for most people as part of the diet. While the nutrition is real, strong human evidence that hemp supplements treat specific medical conditions is limited. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using hemp products for a health concern, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
