The standard warning here is basically "be careful if you're on heart or blood pressure medication." is that based on an actual documented interaction or is it more of a reasonable-sounding precaution nobody's tested directly

The caution follows logically from the mechanism, since the compound affects the same cardiovascular pathways certain medications also target, so overlapping effects are plausible even without a specific documented case study for every medication combination

This is exactly the kind of question that shouldn't get answered with "plausible mechanism reasoning" from a forum though. If someone is on relevant medication, the actual answer has to come from their own doctor or pharmacist who knows the specific drug and their specific health picture, not from us extrapolating a mechanism.

fair, wasnt trying to get a workaround answer, more curious about the reasoning behind the standard warning itself.

appreciate this thread existing honestly, always assumed it was just boilerplate caution language and not based on anything specific....
