Can I take Biotin and Isosorbide mononitrate together?

Por qué sucede esto

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.

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.

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.

Erectile dysfunction treatment

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

Alcohol

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.

Claras de huevo crudas

Consumir grandes cantidades de claras de huevo crudas durante un período prolongado puede impedir que tu cuerpo absorba biotina. Esto se debe a que las claras de huevo crudas contienen una proteína llamada avidina que se une a la biotina. Los huevos cocidos no causan este problema.
