Raspberry Ketone and Chlorpheniramine, Methscopolamine, Phenylpropanolamine

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

Moderate

STIMULANT DRUGS

Why this applies to Chlorpheniramine, Methscopolamine, Phenylpropanolamine

Chlorpheniramine, Methscopolamine, Phenylpropanolamine falls under STIMULANT DRUGS — the group Raspberry Ketone interacts with.

Theoretically, raspberry ketone might increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects with stimulant drugs.
Structurally, raspberry ketone resembles synephrine, a known stimulant agent. Heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, coronary vasospasm, pulseless electrical activity arrest, and resistant polymorphic ventricular tachycardia have been reported in patients taking raspberry ketone.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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 part that matters for Pannaz: it contains phenylpropanolamine, a decongestant-type stimulant that can nudge up your heart rate and blood pressure. Raspberry ketone is chemically a cousin of synephrine, another stimulant. So the worry is that stacking the two could give you a double dose of stimulation, with things like a racing or pounding heart, jitteriness, or a bump in blood pressure.

I want to be honest about the evidence though. This is mostly theoretical and based on scattered reports, not solid studies, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Still, if you have heart trouble or high blood pressure, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them rather than guessing on your own.

“Pannaz combines an antihistamine, an anticholinergic, and phenylpropanolamine, a stimulant decongestant, and that three-way mix is why 10 of its 230 supplement interactions rate major and why I'd want those ten understood before any other line on this page.

About Raspberry Ketone

What is Raspberry Ketone?

Raspberry Ketone
  • Weight loss
  • Fat burning
  • Boosting metabolism
  • Appetite support
  • General 'fat-burner' supplement

Raspberry ketone is a natural aroma compound found in red raspberries that is heavily marketed for weight loss, but there is no good human evidence that it helps people lose weight. Most claims come from lab and animal studies using doses far higher than what you could get from food or typical supplements. If you choose to try it, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first.
