Rapamycin with High Blood Pressure/ BP Medications - Anyone with Experience and / or Tips?

#1

I have some friends interested in rapamycin who have higher blood pressure and are on medications:

One person is taking

  • 12.5mg Hydrochlorothiazide

Another is taking:

  • 5mg Amlodipine
  • 25mg Quinapril

Another is taking:

  • 25mg Candesartan

Has anyone done the research / worked with their doctor to develop a regimen for taking rapamycin with this condition and these types of medications? Any information or personal stories appreciated…

Epocrates is a free app available for Android/IOS that is awesome for drug interaction checks as well as for pharmacology/drug info in general. I use it all day long in my medical practice.

Blogosklonny in his 2017 paper “From rapalogs to antiaging formula” proposes using ACE inhibitors such as Lisinopril and Angiotensin receptor blockers such as Valsartan, beta-blocker such as propranolol for lowering BP as well as anti-aging effects.

From what I can see on drug interactions - the biggest concern is Quinapril mixed with rapamycin (sirolimus) or everolimus.
