Drug & supplement interaction

Tyramine + Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate

Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate brand name: Konvomep.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate states a food rule worth keeping to, and the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate

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 Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate and Tyramine 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.

Tyramine safety at a glance

Tyramine overall Use caution Tyramine in normal foods is fine for most people, but it can be harmful for those who are sensitive or taking certain drugs.
Pregnancy Use caution Tyramine from ordinary food is generally fine, but concentrated supplemental use is not recommended and not well studied.
Breastfeeding Use caution Tyramine from a normal diet is generally fine, but deliberately taking it in supplement form is not advised due to a lack of safety data.

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

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate is filed under 10 classifications — including proton pump inhibitors (ppis), cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inducers. Tyramine has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being antihypertensive drugs (major), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois) (major) and alcohol (moderate) — and none of Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate’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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Chest pain / Raised blood pressure Worth acting on Additional detail

    Tyramine

    “Orally and intravenously, unspecified doses of tyramine have increased systolic, but not diastolic, blood pressure. Intravenous tyramine is not used clinically but is commonly used to examine safety and interaction outcomes. A single dose of oral tyramine 400 mg has been reported to cause heart palpitations and elevations in systolic blood pressure in healthy volunteers.”

Effects for Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Tyramine come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 930 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

How to take them

Some Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate Products Have a Food Rule — Tyramine Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Tyramine included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate on its own and move Tyramine to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

• Take on an empty stomach at least one hour before a meal [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

About Tyramine

What is Tyramine?

  • Studied for effects on blood pressure
  • Discussed in relation to migraine and headache triggers
  • Of interest in food and diet science
  • Subject of research on the nervous system

Tyramine is a natural compound formed when certain proteins break down, and it is found in aged cheeses, cured meats, fermented foods, and some other items. It is not a typical health supplement and is best known for the problems it can cause—such as dangerous spikes in blood pressure—in people taking certain medications or in those who are sensitive to it. If you have been told to follow a low-tyramine diet, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes.

Not a plant part; tyramine is a naturally occurring compound found in many foods · Naturally present in aged and fermented foods; not commonly sold as a stand-alone supplement

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

Tyramine: dosing

There is no recommended supplement dose for tyramine, because it is not meant to be taken as a health product. Instead, the main guidance is about how much tyramine to allow in the diet for people who are sensitive to it.If you have been placed on a low-tyramine diet, the goal is usually to limit aged, fermented, cured, or spoiled foods rather than to count exact milligrams. Your pharmacist or doctor can give you a food list suited to your situation.Do not try to take tyramine on purpose.

Taking Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Tyramine with Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate?
We do not list a known interaction between Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 9 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Should I take Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate on its own and move Tyramine to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Tyramine and Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate is filed under 10 classifications, and Tyramine has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — none of Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Tyramine interact with any other medications?
Yes. Tyramine has 353 documented drug interactions in our database — Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate interact with any supplements?
Yes. Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate has documented interactions with 174 supplements in our database — Tyramine is not one of them. The Omeprazole, Sodium Bicarbonate interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
