Product Interactions Antihypertensive medication: Co-enzyme Q10 can decrease blood pressure and might have additive blood pressure lowering effects when used with antihypertensive medications, use with caution. Chemotherapy: Preliminary evidence suggests that inhibition of co-enzyme Q10 dependent enzymes and decreased co-enzyme Q10 synthesis in the heart might contribute to the cardiotoxicity caused by doxorubicin. Theoretically, taking co-enzyme Q-10 supplements might prevent this toxicity. But there is also concern that co-enzyme Q10 might lower effectiveness of doxorubicin. Co-enzyme Q10 does not seem to significantly alter the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. Warfarin: Concomitant use might reduce the anticoagulation effects of warfarin. Coenzyme Q10 is chemically similar to menaquinone and might have vitamin K-like procoagulant effects. Closely monitor individuals taking warfarin and coenzyme Q10. Dose adjustment may be necessary.
