Quercetin and Methyclothiazide, Pargyline

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Methyclothiazide, Pargyline

Methyclothiazide, Pargyline falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Quercetin interacts with.

Theoretically, taking quercetin with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.

Quercetin can modestly decrease blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. Theoretically, it might have additive blood pressure lowering effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

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

Eutron is a combination pill that pairs methyclothiazide (a thiazide water pill that lowers blood pressure) with pargyline (an older MAO inhibitor that also brings blood pressure down). Quercetin isn't broken down or activated by this medicine, so this isn't an enzyme issue. The concern is simpler: quercetin can modestly lower blood pressure on its own, and stacking that on top of a drug already pushing your pressure down may add up.

If your pressure drops too far, you might feel dizzy, lightheaded, faint when standing, or unusually tired. To be honest, this is mostly theoretical and based on weak evidence, and food amounts of quercetin are unlikely to matter. Concentrated supplements are where I'd be cautious. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding it, and keep an eye on your home readings.

Quercetin is a plant flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties found in many common foods and sold as a supplement.

It is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but talk to your pharmacist or doctor before taking high-dose supplements.
