Safety & Side Effects

Efeitos Colaterais Relatados

  • 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)

Interações Conhecidas

  • 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)

Ingestão máxima tolerável: Not formally established; GI discomfort common above 10,000 mg/day
