Blood Pressure And Medicine
Arginine and citrulline may lower blood pressure. If you take blood pressure medicine, adding them can push readings too low. Signs include dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting and a fast heartbeat. Never stop or change prescribed medicine because of a supplement, and speak to your doctor first.
Do Not Self-Treat
Melonex is not a treatment for high blood pressure or heart disease. Chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache or a very high reading needs urgent medical care.
Nitrates And Erectile Dysfunction Medicine
Medicines that widen blood vessels, such as nitrates and sildenafil-type drugs, may combine with these ingredients to lower pressure more. Ask your pharmacist.
Heart Attack, Heart And Kidney Conditions
L-arginine is generally not advised after a recent heart attack. Ask your doctor if you have heart or kidney disease before using it.
Blood Thinners And Surgery
Arginine may affect blood pressure and may interact with blood thinners. Ask your doctor when to stop before planned surgery.
Pregnancy, Nursing And Age
Not advised during pregnancy or nursing without clinical approval, and not for anyone under 18.
Possible Effects
- Stomach upset, bloating or diarrhoea.
