Drug & supplement interaction

Manganese + Lisdexamfetamine

Lisdexamfetamine brand name: Vyvanse.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine

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 Lisdexamfetamine and Manganese 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Lisdexamfetamine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lisdexamfetamine is filed under 6 classifications — including amphetamines, stimulant drugs, serotonergic drugs. Manganese has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being antipsychotic drugs (moderate), quinolone antibiotics (moderate) and tetracycline antibiotics (moderate) — and none of Lisdexamfetamine’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Low mood Worth acting on Additional detail

    Lisdexamfetamine

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Lisdexamfetamine. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Manganese but not commonly for Lisdexamfetamine: low blood pressure, fainting, memory problems and muscle weakness.

Effects for Lisdexamfetamine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Manganese come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Special populations

Manganese in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally and appropriately. Manganese is safe when used in doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 11 mg daily during pregnancy or lactation in those aged 19 or older. However, those under 19 years of age should limit doses to less than 9 mg daily.

Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When used orally in excessive doses. Doses over the UL are associated with a greater risk of toxicity. Additionally, observational research shows that adults with higher blood manganese levels have greater odds of delivering low birth weight or small for gestational age (SGA) male, but not female, infants.

Lactation Likely Unsafe

When inhaled at moderate doses, long-term. Manganese salts can cross the placenta, and animal research suggests that large amounts of manganese may be teratogenic.

Overlapping uses

What Lisdexamfetamine Is Prescribed For, and What Manganese Has Been Studied For

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

Lisdexamfetamine is prescribed for: Lisdexamfetamine treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and children age 6 and older. It is also approved to treat moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED) in adults. It is not approved or recommended for weight loss, and its safety and effectiveness for treating obesity have not been established. It is not recommended in children under 6 years old.

Manganese has been studied for:

  • Obesity studied, not established Manganese has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Manganese for obesity

    Oral manganese has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients; its effect when used alone is unclear.

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 Lisdexamfetamine on your own; if you are taking Manganese for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

About Manganese

What is Manganese?

Manganese
  • Bone health support
  • Antioxidant and enzyme support
  • Filling dietary gaps
  • Metabolism support
  • Wound healing

Manganese is an essential trace mineral your body needs in small amounts for bone formation, metabolism, and antioxidant defense, and most people get enough from a normal diet. Supplements may help if you have a genuine deficiency, but too much can be harmful—especially to the nervous system—so do not take high doses without guidance from a pharmacist or doctor.

Mineral (dietary trace element) · Tablets, capsules, gummies, liquid drops, part of multivitamin/mineral and bone-health products

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

Manganese: dosing

There is no single "treatment dose" of manganese for most health goals. Health authorities have set recommended daily intakes for general nutrition and an upper limit that you should not exceed, because higher amounts increase the risk of harm.Most people meet their needs through food alone. If a supplement is recommended, the amount in a typical multivitamin or bone-health product is usually enough.

Taking Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Manganese with Lisdexamfetamine?
We do not list a known interaction between Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Are Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Manganese in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Lisdexamfetamine is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Manganese and Lisdexamfetamine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Lisdexamfetamine is filed under 6 classifications, and Manganese has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Lisdexamfetamine's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Manganese interact with any other medications?
Yes. Manganese has 83 documented drug interactions in our database — Lisdexamfetamine is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Lisdexamfetamine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Lisdexamfetamine has documented interactions with 126 supplements in our database — Manganese is not one of them. The Lisdexamfetamine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
