N-methyltyramine and Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol

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

Minor

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol

Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group N-methyltyramine interacts with.

In animal research, N-methyltyramine increased blood pressure. This has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of N-methyltyramine and antihypertensive drugs might reduce the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Some antihypertensive drugs include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
Severity Minor 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

Corzide pairs a beta-blocker (nadolol) with a water pill (bendroflumethiazide) to lower your blood pressure. The worry here is that N-methyltyramine acts as a mild stimulant, gently revving up your body's fight or flight signals. In theory, that little push could nudge your blood pressure and heart rate upward, working against what Corzide is trying to do. So you might not get the full blood-pressure-lowering benefit you count on.

The good news: this is based only on animal and lab studies, not people, so the real-world effect is uncertain and rated minor. Still, since you're taking this for your heart and blood pressure, I'd run any pre-workout or weight-loss product past your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, and keep an eye on your home readings.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Bendroflumethiazide, Nadolol page

“Green tea worries me most. In human studies it cut blood levels of nadolol by roughly 85 percent, enough to undermine Corzide (bendroflumethiazide with nadolol) as a blood pressure treatment, and it earns one of the 12 major ratings here.”

About N-methyltyramine

What is N-methyltyramine?

  • Weight loss and fat burning
  • Energy and pre-workout supplements
  • Sports performance
  • Appetite control

N-methyltyramine is a natural compound related to tyramine that is found in bitter orange, barley, and other plants, and it is often added to weight-loss and pre-workout supplements. Solid human research on its safety and effectiveness is very limited, and because it may stimulate the body like other amines, people with heart problems or high blood pressure should be especially careful. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using any product that contains it.
