Hesperidin and Hydrochlorothiazide, Propranolol

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Hydrochlorothiazide, Propranolol

Hydrochlorothiazide, Propranolol falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Hesperidin interacts with.

Theoretically, taking hesperidin with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical and animal research shows that hesperidin can decrease blood pressure. However, other clinical research shows that hesperidin does not affect blood pressure.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

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

Your Inderide combines two blood pressure medicines: hydrochlorothiazide (a water pill) and propranolol (a beta blocker). Both already work to lower your blood pressure. The thought here is that hesperidin, a citrus flavonoid, might nudge your blood pressure down a little further. If that happens, the two together could add up and leave you feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or tired, especially when you stand up quickly.

Honestly though, the evidence is thin and mixed. Some studies show a small blood pressure drop with hesperidin, others show no effect at all, so this is more theory than a proven problem. Eating oranges won't be an issue. If you take concentrated supplements, just mention it to your pharmacist or doctor and keep an eye on how you feel.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Hydrochlorothiazide, Propranolol page

“Inderide combines hydrochlorothiazide, a water pill, with propranolol, a beta blocker, so a supplement that also lowers blood pressure or pulls potassium out of the body hits the drug on its own turf. That describes most of this list, and I'd approach it with genuine care.”

About Hesperidin

What is Hesperidin?

Hesperidin
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Varicose veins and poor circulation
  • Leg swelling (venous insufficiency)
  • High blood pressure
  • Antioxidant support

Hesperidin is a flavonoid found in citrus fruits that is often combined with diosmin and used for vein and circulation problems like hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Some evidence supports these uses, but data for many other claims is limited. It is generally well tolerated, but pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it because safety has not been established.
