The evidence in words
The interaction
Methylene Blue and MAOIs — a caution interaction. Additive MAO inhibition.
What to do
Do not combine these casually. The interaction can matter clinically — bring it to the prescriber who manages the medication before stacking them.
About Methylene Blue
Methylene blue is a synthetic dye used medically (for methemoglobinemia) and, at low doses, promoted for cognition and energy.
The bigger picture
Supplement–drug and supplement–supplement interactions are the reason a stack should be read as a system, not a list. This platform's interactions graph maps them; the medication side always belongs with the person who prescribes it.
