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

Major

STIMULANT DRUGS

Why this applies to Hydrocodone, Pseudoephedrine, Chlorpheniramine

Hydrocodone, Pseudoephedrine, Chlorpheniramine falls under STIMULANT DRUGS — the group Peyote interacts with.

Concomitant use of peyote with stimulant drugs may increase the risk of adverse CNS effects. Some CNS stimulants include nicotine, cocaine, sympathomimetic amines, and amphetamines.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the piece that matters with Zutripro: it contains pseudoephedrine, which is a stimulant decongestant. Peyote's active compound, mescaline, also revs up the nervous system through serotonin pathways. Put the two together and you may stack stimulant-type effects on top of each other. That could mean a faster or pounding heartbeat, higher blood pressure, jitteriness, anxiety, trouble sleeping, or feeling overheated. The hydrocodone (an opioid) and chlorpheniramine (a sedating antihistamine) add their own drowsiness and mental fog, so you can end up with a confusing push-pull on the brain.

To be honest, this concern is theoretical, based on how these substances behave rather than solid studies. Still, peyote isn't a safe self-treatment, and the combo isn't worth the gamble. Please run it by your pharmacist or doctor before mixing anything.
