N-methyltyramine and Hydrocodone, Pseudoephedrine, Chlorpheniramine

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

Minor

STIMULANT DRUGS

Why this applies to Hydrocodone, Pseudoephedrine, Chlorpheniramine

Hydrocodone, Pseudoephedrine, Chlorpheniramine falls under STIMULANT DRUGS — the group N-methyltyramine interacts with.

N-methyltyramine is thought to have stimulant effects. However, this has not been shown in humans and laboratory research does not support the proposed stimulant effects of N-methyltyramine. Theoretically, taking N-methyltyramine with other stimulant drugs might increase the risk of hypertension and adverse cardiovascular effects. Until more is known, avoid taking N-methyltyramine with stimulant drugs.
Some stimulant drugs include amphetamine, caffeine, diethylpropion (Tenuate), methylphenidate, phentermine (Ionamin), pseudoephedrine (Sudafed, others), 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

The piece of Zutripro that matters here is the pseudoephedrine, which is itself a stimulant decongestant. N-methyltyramine is thought to mildly rev up your body's "fight or flight" system, so on paper, stacking it with pseudoephedrine could add up to more of that effect. Realistically that might mean a faster heart rate, a jittery feeling, trouble sleeping, or a bump in blood pressure.

I want to be honest, though: this is a theoretical concern based on how these compounds might behave, and human studies don't clearly show that N-methyltyramine even works as a stimulant. It's rated minor. Still, if you have heart issues or high blood pressure, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

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.
