Safety & Side Effects

Effets indésirables signalés

  • ⚠ Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea, bloating)
  • ⚠ Hypotension at high doses
  • ⚠ Worsening of herpes simplex (arginine promotes viral replication)
  • ⚠ Potential harm in acute post-MI patients (VINTAGE MI concern)

Interactions connues

  • ● Antihypertensives (additive blood pressure lowering)
  • ● PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil — excessive vasodilation risk)
  • ● Nitrates (excessive vasodilation risk)
  • ● Anticoagulants (may have mild antiplatelet effect)
  • ● Potassium-sparing diuretics (arginine may increase potassium levels)

Apport maximal tolérable : Not formally established; GI discomfort common above 10,000 mg/day
