Picamilon and Montelukast Sodium

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 Montelukast Sodium and Picamilon 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.

Picamilon safety at a glance

Picamilon overall Use caution Human safety data are limited and its legal status as a supplement is questionable in some countries.
Pregnancy Avoid No reliable safety data exist, so it should be avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No safety information is available, so avoid while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Montelukast Sodium

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Montelukast Sodium is filed under 2 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates, oral drugs. Picamilon has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being niacin (moderate) — and none of Montelukast Sodium’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 Montelukast Sodium’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Picamilon. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Montelukast Sodium’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.

  • Wheezing Worth acting on mentioned in 18.7% of FDA reports for Montelukast Sodium
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 40 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 Montelukast Sodium. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 121,067 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Montelukast Sodium that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Picamilon’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Picamilon side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Picamilon has no side effects.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Montelukast Sodium

This page covers Picamilon only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Montelukast Sodium page lists 81 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Adrafinil (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate), Bacopa (moderate) and Berberine (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 56 moderate · 24 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Montelukast Sodium page

“If you rely on montelukast (Singulair) for asthma or allergies, this list deserves genuine attention. The one major-rated concern is activated charcoal, which can soak up the medicine in your gut before it absorbs, leaving you with a weaker dose just when your airways need a steady one.”

About Picamilon

What is Picamilon?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Mental focus and cognition
  • Low mood
  • Migraine or headache
  • Fatigue and energy

Picamilon is a synthetic compound made by joining niacin (vitamin B3) and GABA, originally developed in the former Soviet Union as a prescription drug. It is sold in some countries as a supplement for anxiety, focus, and mood, but high-quality human evidence is very limited, and U.S. regulators have stated it does not qualify as a legal dietary supplement ingredient. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Synthetic compound (not from a plant) · Capsules, tablets, powder

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

Picamilon: dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose of picamilon for supplement use, and quality control of products is uncertain.If a product is available to you, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Montelukast

What Is Montelukast Used For?

Brand name: Singulair

Montelukast is used for the long-term prevention and treatment of asthma in children and adults, and for preventing breathing problems triggered by exercise (exercise-induced bronchoconstriction). It is also used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis (year-round nasal allergies). The age ranges covered depend on the specific product form — tablets, chewable tablets, and oral granules are each approved for different age groups.

For allergic rhinitis, montelukast should be reserved for people who haven't responded well to other treatments, because its potential mental health risks may outweigh the benefits when nasal allergy symptoms are mild and other options work. It is not a rescue treatment for sudden asthma attacks — always keep a fast-acting inhaler on hand.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Montelukast Sodium

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (121,067 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Asthma 14,956 reports
Dyspnea 14,837 reports
Cough 9,067 reports
Fatigue 8,688 reports
Headache 8,236 reports
