Drug & supplement interaction

Nicotinamide Riboside + Treprostinil (IV)

Treprostinil (IV) brand name: Remodulin.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV) 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

Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV)

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 Treprostinil (IV) and Nicotinamide Riboside 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 Treprostinil (IV)

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Treprostinil (IV) is filed under 3 classifications — vasodilators, cytochrome p450 2c8 (cyp2c8) substrates, anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs. Nicotinamide Riboside has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antihypertensive drugs (minor) — and none of Treprostinil (IV)’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 Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV) 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.

Overlapping uses

What Treprostinil (IV) Is Prescribed For, and What Nicotinamide Riboside Has Been Studied For

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

Treprostinil (IV) is prescribed for: Treprostinil injection is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group 1) — high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs. It works to reduce the symptoms that make exercise difficult. Clinical studies included patients with moderate-to-severe PAH symptoms (NYHA Class II–IV) due to idiopathic or heritable PAH, PAH related to congenital heart defects, and PAH related to connective tissue diseases. It is also used for PAH patients who need to transition off epoprostenol — a related medication — to slow the worsening of their condition during that switch.

The risks and benefits of the transition should be carefully discussed with a specialist before starting.

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

    Nicotinamide Riboside for hypertension

    It is unclear if oral nicotinamide riboside reduces blood pressure.

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 Treprostinil (IV) on your own; if you are taking Nicotinamide Riboside 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 Treprostinil (IV) page

“Bleeding risk is the thread running through nearly every supplement flagged for treprostinil (Remodulin), the IV therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension. The drug itself discourages platelets from clumping, so the overwhelming majority of these ingredients could push that tendency further, and I would not add anything from this pag…”

About Nicotinamide Riboside

What is Nicotinamide Riboside?

  • Healthy aging
  • Boosting cellular energy
  • Supporting metabolism
  • General wellness
  • Athletic recovery

Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a form of vitamin B3 that the body converts into NAD+, a molecule involved in cellular energy and repair. Early human studies show it can reliably raise NAD+ levels and appears generally well tolerated, but solid evidence that it improves aging, energy, or specific health conditions is still limited. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it.

Not applicable (a form of vitamin B3) · Capsules, tablets, powders

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

Nicotinamide Riboside: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose of nicotinamide riboside for any health condition. Research studies have used a range of amounts, but these are not formal recommendations.The safest approach is to follow the dose printed on the product label and not exceed it without professional guidance. They can help you decide whether NR is appropriate for you and what amount makes sense.

Taking Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV) Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Nicotinamide Riboside with Treprostinil (IV)?
We do not list a known interaction between Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV). 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 Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV) have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 5 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 Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV) 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 Nicotinamide Riboside in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Treprostinil (IV) is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Nicotinamide Riboside and Treprostinil (IV) combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Treprostinil (IV) is filed under 3 classifications, and Nicotinamide Riboside has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Treprostinil (IV)'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 Nicotinamide Riboside interact with any other medications?
Yes. Nicotinamide Riboside has 172 documented drug interactions in our database — Treprostinil (IV) 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 Treprostinil (IV) interact with any supplements?
Yes. Treprostinil (IV) has documented interactions with 212 supplements in our database — Nicotinamide Riboside is not one of them. The Treprostinil (IV) interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
