Superoxide Dismutase (sod) + Thioridazine
Thioridazine brand name: Mellaril.
We found no known interaction between Superoxide Dismutase (sod) and Thioridazine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Superoxide Dismutase (sod) and Thioridazine
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 Thioridazine and Superoxide Dismutase (sod) 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.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Superoxide Dismutase (sod) at all — not against Thioridazine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Thioridazine page
“Thioridazine (Mellaril) is an older antipsychotic already known for disturbing the heart's rhythm, and the supplements that worry me most here do the same thing, stretching the QT interval further. Grapefruit in large amounts sits in that group, alongside ephedra and several other major-rated entries.”

About Superoxide Dismutase (sod)
What is Superoxide Dismutase (sod)?
- Antioxidant support
- Anti-aging and skin health
- Joint pain and arthritis
- Exercise recovery and oxidative stress
- General inflammation
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a natural antioxidant enzyme your body makes to help neutralize harmful free radicals. While it has clear biological importance, oral supplements may be broken down during digestion, and strong human evidence that taking SOD supplements improves health is limited. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant or have a health condition.
Enzyme sourced from plants (such as cantaloupe melon), bovine liver, or made by microbes; also produced naturally in the body · Capsules, tablets, topical creams, injectable forms (used in some research settings)
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Superoxide Dismutase (sod) is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Superoxide Dismutase (sod) record says about it on its own.
Superoxide Dismutase (sod): dosing
There is no well-established standard dose for superoxide dismutase supplements. Doses vary widely between products and forms.The best advice is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

About Thioridazine
What Is Thioridazine Used For?
Brand name: Mellaril
Thioridazine Hydrochloride tablets are used for the management of schizophrenia — but only in patients who have already tried at least two other antipsychotic medications without adequate results, either because those drugs didn't work well enough or caused intolerable side effects.
Because thioridazine carries serious heart-rhythm risks, it is considered a last-resort option for schizophrenia, not a first-line treatment. It is not approved for dementia-related psychosis or any other psychiatric condition.
