Posso prendere Biotina e Isosorbide mononitrato insieme?

Perché succede

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin processed by the body's normal metabolic pathways. Isosorbide mononitrate works by relaxing blood vessels. These two substances do not share the same metabolic pathways in the liver, nor do they compete for the same receptors in the body.

Cosa dovresti fare

You can safely take biotin and isosorbide mononitrate together. However, you should always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements you are taking. Note: High doses of biotin can sometimes interfere with certain laboratory blood tests (such as thyroid or heart enzyme tests); if you are having blood work done, tell the nurse or doctor that you take a biotin supplement.

Precauzioni importanti

Blood tests (especially heart attack or thyroid tests)

Biotin can cause dangerously misleading results in blood tests. You must stop taking it at least 48 hours before any blood tests and tell your doctor you have been taking it, as it can hide signs of a heart attack or suggest thyroid problems that do not exist.

Trattamento della disfunzione erettile

Never take isosorbide mononitrate with sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or vardenafil (Levitra). Combining these can cause a sudden, life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

Avvertenze su cibo e bevande

Alcol

You should avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking isosorbide mononitrate. Alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of this medicine, which may lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or a rapid heartbeat.

Raw egg whites

Consuming large amounts of raw egg whites over a long period can prevent your body from absorbing biotin. This is because raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin that binds to biotin. Cooked eggs do not cause this issue.
