Puravive and Azilsartan

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Puravive interacts with whole categories of medication. Azilsartan falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Puravive in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

1 of 2

Why this applies to Azilsartan

Azilsartan falls under Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates — the group Puravive interacts with.

Puravive contains quercetin, which has been shown in studies to mildly inhibit the CYP2C9 metabolizing enzyme. This inhibition could potentially increase the risk of side effects from drugs. A small clinical trial with healthy volunteers found that taking 500 mg of quercetin twice daily for 10 days before using diclofenac, a drug metabolized by CYP2C9, increased diclofenac plasma levels by 75% and extended its half-life by 32.5% (source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29168292/). Combining quercetin with drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 could increase the risk of side effects, so caution is advised.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence C

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 explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist: Puravive contains quercetin, which can mildly slow down a liver enzyme called CYP2C9. Your azilsartan (Edarbi) is partly cleared by that same enzyme. So if the enzyme works slower, a bit more azilsartan can linger in your blood than usual. Azilsartan is an active drug, not a prodrug, so more of it in your system means a slightly stronger blood-pressure-lowering effect.

In real life, that could show up as feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or unusually tired, especially when standing up quickly. The evidence here is limited and the effect is likely mild, so don't panic. But please loop in your pharmacist or doctor before starting Puravive, and keep an eye on your blood pressure readings if you do.

Antihypertensive Drugs

2 of 2

Azilsartan also falls under Antihypertensive Drugs.

Puravive contains quercetin, which has been found to slightly reduce blood pressure in individuals with mild hypertension (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17951477/). There is a theoretical possibility that it could enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of antihypertensive medications.
Severity Minor Likelihood Possible Evidence C

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

Here's the situation with Puravive and Edarbi (azilsartan). One ingredient in Puravive, quercetin, has shown a small blood-pressure-lowering effect in people with mild high blood pressure. Since azilsartan already lowers your blood pressure, pairing the two could add up and push your numbers a little lower than expected.

If that happens, you might feel dizzy, lightheaded, or tired, especially when standing up quickly. To be clear, this is a theoretical, minor concern based on limited evidence, not a dangerous combination for most folks. Still, I'd mention it to your pharmacist or doctor before starting Puravive, and it's smart to check your blood pressure at home so you can spot any unusual dips early.

About Puravive

What is Puravive?

Puravive
  • Weight management
  • Metabolism support
  • Energy levels
  • General wellness
  • Stress and brain health

Puravive is a branded, multi-ingredient capsule marketed mainly for weight loss by claiming to boost brown fat activity, but there is no published, independent clinical research showing the product itself works for this purpose. Some individual ingredients have been studied in laboratory or small human studies, but those results do not prove the finished blend is safe or effective. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you have health conditions or take medications.

About Azilsartan

What Is Azilsartan Used For?

Brand name: Edarbi

Azilsartan medoxomil tablets — sold as both the generic Azilsartan Medoxomil and the brand Edarbi — are approved to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Bringing blood pressure down lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular events, especially stroke and heart attack.

The medication can be used on its own or alongside other blood pressure medicines. It is not a cure for high blood pressure, and managing the condition fully often involves lifestyle steps like limiting sodium, exercising, and quitting smoking.
