HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fibro-DMG by DaVinci Laboratories Of Vermont
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Fibro-DMG contains 6 active ingredients. Malic acid is an organic acid that may help with dry mouth and fatigue, though evidence for fibromyalgia is insufficient.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric Acid) is a calming brain chemical that may reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, though its effectiveness is not well established. Dimethylglycine HCl, magnesium, serratiopeptidase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide round out the blend.
Magnesium is a mineral well proven to relieve constipation and indigestion and to correct low magnesium levels. The product also contains inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, vegetable stearate, carboxymethyl cellulose, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, titanium dioxide, and polyethylene glycol—which serve as binders, fillers, and capsule material.
Does it work?
Leans against
Evidence for Fibro-DMG's use in fibromyalgia and fatigue is insufficient; we hold no established ratings for those claims. Malic acid is possibly effective for dry mouth, though data on its fibromyalgia benefit specifically is lacking.
GABA's effectiveness for anxiety, attention deficit, cerebral palsy, and chronic bronchitis is not well established. Magnesium, by contrast, is established as effective for constipation, indigestion, and correcting magnesium deficiency.
If you're considering this product for fibromyalgia, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Malic acid is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. Orally, it's generally well tolerated, though doses in supplements are less studied than food amounts.
Diarrhea and nausea have been reported in one combination study, though it's unclear whether malic acid or the magnesium in that product caused them. GABA's long-term safety is not well studied.
Common side effects include drowsiness, nausea, minor throat burning, muscle weakness, and upset stomach. Safety data for pregnancy and lactation is incomplete; breastfeeding safety data advises against it.
Magnesium is likely safe at recommended doses; it's needed in pregnancy but supplements should be used only under your doctor's guidance. Oral magnesium may cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset.
We hold no safety data for dimethylglycine HCl, serratiopeptidase, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking Fibro-DMG, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) for Parkinson's, since magnesium can cut its effectiveness significantly. Also confirm use if you're on blood pressure medications (malic acid and GABA may lower pressure further), skeletal muscle relaxants, potassium-sparing diuretics, calcium channel blockers, acid reducers, diabetes sulfonylureas, quinolone antibiotics, or bisphosphonates for bones.
If you take sedating medications, GABA may add to drowsiness.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Fibro-DMG combines ingredients with limited evidence for fibromyalgia but notable interactions, especially with blood pressure drugs, Parkinson's medications, diabetes drugs, and antibiotics. If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medication—particularly for heart, blood pressure, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, or bone health—check it against this product with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
The ingredient magnesium is helpful for constipation and indigestion, but the product's fibromyalgia claims lack strong evidence.

Fibro-DMG by DaVinci Laboratories Of Vermont Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Fibro-DMG by DaVinci Laboratories contains several ingredients that interact with medications.
Through its malic acid, GABA, and magnesium content, this product can affect blood pressure control, sedating medications, and a range of other drugs. The most serious interaction is magnesium's Major-severity effect on levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet), a Parkinson's medication—magnesium can cut the drug's effectiveness by more than a third.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Malic acid and GABA both carry Moderate-severity risks with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), potentially lowering your blood pressure further. GABA also has a Minor-severity concern with sedating drugs (CNS depressants) and may add to drowsiness, though the real-world risk is unclear.
Magnesium interacts with multiple drug classes. Beyond levodopa/carbidopa, moderate concerns apply to skeletal muscle relaxants (stronger, faster effects), potassium-sparing diuretics (higher magnesium levels), calcium channel blockers (additive blood pressure drop), acid-reducing medications (may need higher magnesium doses for a laxative effect), sulfonylureas used for diabetes (stronger blood sugar lowering), quinolone antibiotics (reduced antibiotic absorption), and bisphosphonates for bone health (reduced bone drug absorption).
We could not check interactions for dimethylglycine HCl, serratiopeptidase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Altogether, these interactions span 659 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Fibro-DMG with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking GABA with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical research shows that GABA can decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, GABA might have additive sedative effects when used in conjunction with CNS depressants. However, it is unclear if this concern is clinically relevant.
Endogenous GABA has well-established relaxant effects and GABA(A) receptors have an established physiological role in sleep. However, the effects of GABA supplements are unclear, as it is unknown whether exogenous GABA crosses the blood-brain barrier. Although there have been limited reports of drowsiness or tiredness with GABA supplements, these effects have not been widely reported in clinical studies. Additionally, intravenous GABA 0.1-1 mg/kg has been shown to induce anxiety in a dose-dependent manner.
Magnesium
Levodopa/Carbidopa (Sinemet)
Magnesium can reduce the bioavailability of levodopa/carbidopa.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that taking magnesium oxide 1000 mg with levodopa 100 mg/carbidopa 10 mg reduces the area under the curve (AUC) of levodopa by 35% and of carbidopa by 81%. In vitro and animal research shows that magnesium produces an alkaline environment in the digestive tract, which might lead to degradation and reduced bioavailability of levodopa/carbidopa.
Aminoglycoside Antibiotics
Concomitant use of aminoglycoside antibiotics and magnesium can increase the risk for neuromuscular weakness.
Both aminoglycosides and magnesium reduce presynaptic acetylcholine release, which can lead to neuromuscular blockade and possible paralysis. This is most likely to occur with high doses of magnesium given intravenously.
Antacids
Use of acid reducers may reduce the laxative effect of magnesium oxide.
A retrospective analysis shows that, in the presence of H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a higher dose of magnesium oxide is needed for a laxative effect. This may also occur with antacids. Under acidic conditions, magnesium oxide is converted to magnesium chloride and then to magnesium bicarbonate, which has an osmotic laxative effect. By reducing acidity, antacids may reduce the conversion of magnesium oxide to the active bicarbonate salt.
Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (Biktarvy)
Magnesium might decrease levels of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide by reducing its absorption.
Advise patients that bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide should be taken at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after magnesium containing products.
Bisphosphonates
Magnesium can decrease absorption of bisphosphonates.
Cations, including magnesium, can decrease bisphosphonate absorption. Advise patients to separate doses of magnesium and these drugs by at least 2 hours.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Magnesium can have additive effects with calcium channel blockers, although evidence is conflicting.
Magnesium inhibits calcium entry into smooth muscle cells and may therefore have additive effects with calcium channel blockers. Severe hypotension and neuromuscular blockades may occur when nifedipine is used with intravenous magnesium, although some contradictory evidence suggests that concurrent use of magnesium with nifedipine does not increase the risk of neuromuscular weakness. High doses of magnesium could theoretically have additive effects with other calcium channel blockers.
Digoxin
Magnesium salts may reduce absorption of digoxin.
Clinical evidence suggests that treatment with oral magnesium hydroxide or magnesium trisilicate reduces absorption of digoxin from the intestines. This may reduce the blood levels of digoxin and decrease its therapeutic effects.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Potassium-sparing diuretics decrease excretion of magnesium, possibly increasing magnesium levels.
Potassium-sparing diuretics also have magnesium-sparing properties, which can counteract the magnesium losses associated with loop and thiazide diuretics. Theoretically, increased magnesium levels could result from concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics and magnesium supplements.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Magnesium decreases absorption of quinolones.
Magnesium can form insoluble complexes with quinolones and decrease their absorption. Advise patients to take these drugs at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after, magnesium supplements.
Skeletal Muscle Relaxants
Parenteral magnesium alters the pharmacokinetics of skeletal muscle relaxants, increasing their effects and accelerating the onset of effect.
Parenteral magnesium shortens the time to onset of skeletal muscle relaxants by about 1 minute and prolongs the duration of action by about 2 minutes. Magnesium potentiates the effects of skeletal muscle relaxants by decreasing calcium-mediated release of acetylcholine from presynaptic nerve terminals, reducing postsynaptic sensitivity to acetylcholine, and having a direct effect on the membrane potential of myocytes. Magnesium also has vasodilatory actions and increases cardiac output, allowing a greater amount of muscle relaxant to reach the motor end plate. A clinical study found that low-dose rocuronium (0.45 mg/kg), when given after administration of magnesium 30 mg/kg over 10 minutes, has an accelerated onset of effect, which matches the onset of effect seen with a full-dose rocuronium regimen (0.6 mg/kg). In another clinical study, onset times for rocuronium doses of 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 mg/kg were 86, 76, and 50 seconds, respectively, when given alone, but were reduced to 66, 44, and 38 seconds, respectively, when the doses were given after a 15-minute infusion of magnesium sulfate 60 mg/kg. Giving intraoperative intravenous magnesium sulfate, 50 mg/kg loading dose followed by 15 mg/kg/hour, reduces the onset time of rocuronium, enhances its clinical effects, reduces the dose of intraoperative opiates, and prolongs the spontaneous recovery time. It does not affect the activity of subsequently administered neostigmine.
Sulfonylureas
Magnesium increases the systemic absorption of sulfonylureas, increasing their effects and side effects.
Clinical research shows that administration of magnesium hydroxide with glyburide increases glyburide absorption, increases maximal insulin response by 35-fold, and increases the risk of hypoglycemia, when compared with glyburide alone. A similar interaction occurs between magnesium hydroxide and glipizide. The mechanism of this effect appears to be related to the elevation of gastrointestinal pH by magnesium-based antacids, increasing solubility and enhancing absorption of sulfonylureas.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Magnesium decreases absorption of tetracyclines.
Magnesium can form insoluble complexes with tetracyclines in the gut and decrease their absorption and antibacterial activity. Advise patients to take these drugs 1 hour before or 2 hours after magnesium supplements.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, magnesium may have antiplatelet effects, but the evidence is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that magnesium sulfate inhibits platelet aggregation, even at low concentrations. Some preliminary clinical evidence shows that infusion of magnesium sulfate increases bleeding time by 48% and reduces platelet activity. However, other clinical research shows that magnesium does not affect platelet aggregation, although inhibition of platelet-dependent thrombosis can occur.
Gabapentin (Neurontin)
Gabapentin absorption can be decreased by magnesium.
Clinical research shows that giving magnesium oxide orally along with gabapentin decreases the maximum plasma concentration of gabapentin by 33%, time to maximum concentration by 36%, and area under the curve by 43%. Advise patients to take gabapentin at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after, magnesium supplements.
Sevelamer (Renagel, Renvela)
Sevelamer may increase serum magnesium levels.
In patients on hemodialysis, sevelamer use was associated with a 0.28 mg/dL increase in serum magnesium. The mechanism of this interaction remains unclear.
Malic Acid
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, malic acid might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that malic acid isolated from tagetes roots can reduce mean arterial blood pressure.
