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 two active ingredients: pancreatin and ATP (adenosine). The product also contains a gelatin capsule as an inactive ingredient.

Pancreatin is an enzyme blend, while ATP is a nucleotide involved in cellular energy. The product is delivered as a 1000 mg capsule.

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 data on file shows effectiveness ratings for ATP in two specific clinical uses: paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (a type of rapid, irregular heartbeat) and cardiovascular disease diagnosis. However, Formula CX as a whole supplement product — and pancreatin within it — have no effectiveness ratings in our data.

We hold no evidence about how well this formula works for general wellness or any condition other than those specific ATP applications.

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.

ATP (adenosine) comes with important cautions. The safety data notes that oral supplement evidence for adenosine is limited; the prescription injectable form is powerful and only for medical use.

There is not enough safety information to recommend adenosine supplements, and safety has not been established during breastfeeding, so it's best avoided if you're nursing. Intravenous adenosine (the prescription form) can cause chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, flushing, headache, low blood pressure, nausea, and nervousness.

Rare serious effects include arrhythmias and cardiac arrest — but these are tied to the injectable prescription version. No adverse effects have been reported from oral or intramuscular adenosine, though a full safety study hasn't been done.

We have no safety data on file for pancreatin.

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.

If you take dipyridamole (Persantine) or carbamazepine (Tegretol), or any methylxanthines (caffeine supplements, aminophylline, theophylline), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. Dipyridamole interactions are serious and can affect heart rate and blood pressure during cardiac testing.

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 ATP, which is used medically for specific heart rhythm and diagnostic purposes — but as a supplement, safety evidence is thin. If you take dipyridamole, carbamazepine, caffeine, or theophylline, there are documented interactions you need to know about before you start.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you and whether it will work with your current medications.

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.

Formula CX 1000 mg by TumoRx: Common Questions

Does Formula CX 1000 mg by TumoRx interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Formula CX 1000 mg has a known interaction with 47 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Formula CX 1000 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is ATP the same thing as the supplement adenosine?
ATP and adenosine are related — ATP breaks down to adenosine in the body — but they're not identical. In medicine, both are used for heart rhythm issues and cardiac testing, but they're dosed and delivered differently. The interactions and safety concerns in our data apply to the adenosine form of ATP in this product.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
No, not based on the safety data. Safety has not been established for adenosine (ATP) during breastfeeding, so it's best avoided if you're nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether there's an alternative that's safer for you at this time.
What is pancreatin and what does it do?
Pancreatin is an enzyme blend derived from the pancreas that helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. We don't have effectiveness data for pancreatin in this product on file, and we couldn't check it for drug interactions.
Does this product actually work for heart problems?
ATP does have established effectiveness for two specific medical uses — paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and cardiovascular disease diagnosis — but those are clinical applications under medical supervision. We have no data on how well Formula CX as a whole supplement works for general use or wellness.
What side effects might I get from taking this?
The injectable prescription form of adenosine causes chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, headache, and low blood pressure, among others. However, no adverse effects have been reported from oral adenosine, though a thorough safety study hasn't been completed. Side effects for pancreatin are not on file.
Is it safe to take this with caffeine?
No. Caffeine (a methylxanthine) can block the effects of adenosine by competing at the same cell receptors. If you're taking this product, caffeine should be avoided for 24 hours beforehand. Check with your pharmacist about other methylxanthines like theophylline and aminophylline too.
