The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Nadh and Quetiapine 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 label for Quetiapine states a food rule worth keeping to.

Nadh and Quetiapine

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 Quetiapine and Nadh 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Nadh at all — not against Quetiapine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What Quetiapine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Nadh. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Quetiapine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Mania or an unusually elevated mood Worth acting on
  • A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • A bowel blockage Worth acting on
  • Severe muscle breakdown Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on mentioned in 4.4% of FDA reports for Quetiapine
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Trouble passing urine Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 63 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Quetiapine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 188,604 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Quetiapine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Nadh’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Nadh side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Nadh has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Quetiapine Products Have a Food Rule — Nadh Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Quetiapine says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Nadh included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Quetiapine on its own and move Nadh to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Quetiapine products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

It is recommended that SEROQUEL XR be taken without food or with a light meal (approximately 300 calories) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Quetiapine — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Overlapping uses

What Quetiapine Is Prescribed For, and What Nadh Has Been Studied For

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

Quetiapine is prescribed for: Quetiapine treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in adults and certain age groups of children and adolescents. For bipolar disorder, it is approved for manic episodes (both as a stand-alone treatment and alongside lithium or divalproex) and for depressive episodes. The extended-release form of quetiapine is also approved as add-on therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults who are already taking an antidepressant. The regular tablet form is not approved for this use.

Nadh has been studied for:

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

    Nadh for depression

    Although there has been interest in using oral and parenteral NADH for depression, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of NADH for this purpose.

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Quetiapine page

“Quetiapine (Seroquel) treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, illnesses where an unplanned swing in the drug's blood level has real consequences, and that is why these 199 supplement interactions deserve a careful read rather than a shrug. Most of the risk runs through CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that clears quetiapine: grapefruit bloc…”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Nadh is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Nadh reference on this page ↓

About Nadh

What is Nadh?

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Low energy and tiredness
  • Athletic performance
  • Mental clarity and focus
  • Parkinson's disease (investigational)
  • Jet lag

NADH is the active, electron-carrying form of niacin (vitamin B3) that your body uses to make energy in cells. Some people take it as a supplement for fatigue, mental sharpness, and athletic performance, but solid human evidence is limited and mostly preliminary. It appears generally well tolerated in the short term, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Not applicable (a coenzyme form of vitamin B3/niacin) · Tablets, capsules, sublingual lozenges, sometimes intravenous (clinical settings)

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

Nadh: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose of NADH. Doses used in studies have varied, and product strengths differ from brand to brand. Sublingual (under-the-tongue) forms are marketed as being better absorbed, though strong proof for this is limited.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount. Taking it earlier in the day may help avoid sleep problems.

Taking Nadh and Quetiapine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Nadh with Quetiapine?
We do not list a known interaction between Nadh and Quetiapine. 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.
Should I take Nadh and Quetiapine at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Quetiapine says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Quetiapine on its own and move Nadh to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Are Nadh and Quetiapine 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 Nadh in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Quetiapine is being adjusted to a target.
Does Quetiapine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Quetiapine has documented interactions with 199 supplements in our database — Nadh is not one of them. The Quetiapine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
