Supplement combinations
9 published guides. Coverage is limited to the combinations listed.
Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride with Camellia sinensis leaf extract. Extracts vary in caffeine and catechin content; brewed tea and isolated EGCG are not interchangeable. Rat tissue and intravenous extract studies do not establish human oral effects.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride with Citrus aurantium fruit or peel supplements. Natural p-synephrine is distinct from phenylephrine, also called m-synephrine. Food flavorings and topical oils are outside the concentrated oral-extract assessment.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride with Paullinia cupana, usually a guarana seed preparation. Evidence about purified caffeine or a mixed weight-loss product is indirect for a specific guarana supplement; nonoral phenylephrine is outside this assessment.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride and caffeine. The strongest practical guidance is for one finished product containing phenylephrine, caffeine and paracetamol. A research gel used under the tongue is a different preparation; nasal sprays, eye drops and injections are outside this advice.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride with yohimbe bark supplements, represented in the dataset as Pausinystalia johimbe. Sources commonly use Pausinystalia yohimbe. Purified yohimbine studies are indirect; injected phenylephrine experiments do not establish oral supplement interactions.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride with Coffea arabica seed extract. Government evidence includes green coffee from several Coffea species; applicability is limited to the actual product and its caffeine content. Brewed coffee is a separate exposure.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride with Ilex paraguariensis leaf preparations. Brewed mate, concentrated extracts and mixed energy products are different exposures. The inspected mouse study used injected phenylephrine as a separate comparator.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride and Rhodiola rosea supplements. Findings for a particular commercial rhodiola extract or other medicines do not automatically apply to this pair. Nasal, eye and injected phenylephrine require separate assessment.
Read the interaction guide →Oral phenylephrine hydrochloride and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, the licorice root/rhizome ingredient. Evidence is relevant chiefly to glycyrrhizin-containing oral preparations; species and processing may vary. DGL and topical licorice are distinct exposures.
