Iboga and Isopropamide, Prochlorperazine

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

Moderate

ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Isopropamide, Prochlorperazine

Isopropamide, Prochlorperazine falls under ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS — the group Iboga interacts with.

Theoretically, iboga might decrease the effectiveness of anticholinergic drugs.
In vitro research shows that iboga can inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels. However, the constituent ibogaine does not appear to have this effect.
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

Combid is a combination product, and the part that matters here is the isopropamide piece, which is an anticholinergic. It works partly by lowering the activity of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. The idea on file is that Iboga might do the opposite, raising acetylcholine levels by blocking the enzyme that breaks it down. If that happens, it could blunt how well the isopropamide works, meaning less of the drying, antispasm effect you are taking it for, and possibly the return of cramping, stomach upset, or excess secretions.

Honestly though, this is very theoretical. It comes only from lab studies, and the main Iboga compound, ibogaine, did not show this effect. Iboga also carries serious heart and safety risks of its own. Please talk with your pharmacist or doctor before combining anything with this medication.

About Iboga

What is Iboga?

Iboga
  • Drug and alcohol addiction
  • Opioid withdrawal
  • Spiritual and ceremonial rituals
  • Fatigue and stimulant effects
  • Mood and emotional issues

Iboga is a Central African shrub whose root bark contains ibogaine, a powerful hallucinogenic compound studied mainly for addiction. It carries serious safety risks, including dangerous heart rhythm changes and deaths, and ibogaine is illegal in the United States and many other countries. We do not recommend its use outside of tightly controlled research settings.
