HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Formula CX 1000 mg by TumoRx

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Formula CX contains 2 active ingredients: a proprietary blend and pancreatin. The blend includes ATP (also called adenosine), a compound naturally made in your cells that plays a role in energy and heart rhythm.

The product comes in gelatin capsules.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Adenosine's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Adenosine for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Cardiovascular disease diagnosis — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Cachexia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The adenosine in this product is documented as effective for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (a type of rapid heartbeat) and for helping diagnose cardiovascular disease. However, those ratings apply to the prescription injectable form used under medical supervision.

We hold no effectiveness data for this supplement as an oral product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Adenosine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Safety data for oral adenosine supplements is limited. The prescription injectable form is potent and must be given only by a healthcare professional.

The facts note there is not enough safety information to recommend supplement use. The product should be avoided while breastfeeding because safety has not been established.

Most adverse effects reported — chest pain, dizziness, breathing trouble, facial flushing, headache, low blood pressure, nausea, and tingling — come from intravenous use; oral or intramuscular use has not been thoroughly evaluated for safety.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Adenosine

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Adenosine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • For scale: 47 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take dipyridamole (Persantine) — adenosine can increase both its benefits and risks, and you may need to stop it before cardiac stress testing. If you take carbamazepine (Tegretol), discuss the heart-block risk.

Avoid methylxanthines like caffeine, aminophylline, and theophylline for 24 hours before using this product, as they can block its effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product contains adenosine, a compound with documented medical uses in prescription form, but oral supplement safety is not well established in the data we hold. If you take dipyridamole, carbamazepine, or methylxanthines (caffeine, aminophylline, theophylline), this product may interact significantly — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Discuss with your own healthcare provider whether this supplement is right for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Formula CX 1000 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

ATP3 drug types · 47 drugs

Dipyridamole (Persantine)

Dipyridamole can increase the therapeutic and toxic effects of adenosine.
Dipyridamole decreases the metabolism of adenosine. Intravenous infusion of adenosine in patients who are taking dipyridamole can cause dizziness, bradycardia, and syncope. Dipyridamole should be discontinued for several days prior to a cardiac stress test using adenosine.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Carbamazepine might increase the risk of heart block when used concomitantly with adenosine.
Carbamazepine and adenosine can both cause heart block. Giving them concurrently might produce an additive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Methylxanthines

Methylxanthines are competitive antagonists of adenosine and can block its pharmacologic effects.
The methylxanthines, aminophylline, caffeine, and theophylline, can block the effects of adenosine by acting as competitive antagonists at adenosine cell surface receptors. It is recommended that methylxanthines be avoided for 24 hours prior to cardiac stress tests.
