DRUG INTERACTIONS:

Contraindicated with anti-thyroid medications.

Contraindicated with levodopa - competes with tyrosine for uptake, reducing efficacy.

Caution with antidepressant drugs (MAOIs, SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants) - concurrent use with tyrosine may have an additive effect or result in elevated blood pressure.

Caution with levothyroxine and CNS stimulants - tyrosine may have additive effects. Separate dose by 2 hours and monitor use.

Caution with immunosuppressant drugs - selenium and Ashwagandha may theoretically interfere with immunosuppressant therapy due to their immunostimulant activity.

Caution with warfarin and other anticoagulants - selenium may increase blood thinning effect. Monitor.

Caution with Eltrombopag - selenium may reduce drug absorption. Separate dose by 4 hours.

Caution with drugs containing iodine, e.g. amiodarone (antineoplastic agent) - concurrent use with iodine can increase iodine levels and may affect thyroid function. Monitor thyroid function.

Caution with CNS stimulants and sedatives - concurrent use with Ashwagandha may have an additive effect. Monitor.

Caution with NSAIDs, cefalexin, penicillamine and tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics - zinc forms complexes with these drugs, reducing absorption of both. Separate dose by 3 hours.

CAUTIONS:

Contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding - safety data regarding high dose tyrosine is unavailable and Ashwagandha may have abortifacient action.

Contraindicated in hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease - both tyrosine and Ashwagandha may increase T4.

Contraindicated in those with melanoma, adrenal tumours or pheochromocytoma.

Caution in peptic ulcer disease - Ashwagandha may cause gastrointestinal irritation.

SIDE EFFECTS:

Tyrosine may increase blood pressure in susceptible individuals. Monitor blood pressure.
