Cardiovascular
- Cardiovascular diseaseabsolute
Hypertension, Arrhythmia, Prior cardiac events, Long QT syndrome, Heart failure
Tachycardia, hypertension, and possible QT prolongation from sympathomimetic and serotonergic activation create risk of acute cardiovascular decompensation in susceptible individuals. QT prolongation documented in rat ECG studies for 25D-NBOMe and 25C-NBOMe.
- Stimulant useabsolute
Concurrent cocaine use, Concurrent amphetamine use
Co-administration of stimulants with 25N-NBOMe produces additive sympathomimetic effects — tachycardia, hypertension, hyperthermia, and vasoconstriction — risking hypertensive crisis, cardiac arrhythmia, and seizures. Cocaine listed as 'dangerous' in seed interaction data.
Neurological
- Seizure disorderabsolute
Epilepsy, Lowered seizure threshold
Seizures are a documented feature of severe NBOMe intoxication across the class. Individuals with pre-existing seizure disorders face compounded risk from 25N-NBOMe's seizure-threshold-reducing properties.
Psychiatric
- Psychotic spectrum disordersabsolute
Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective disorder
Potent 5-HT₂A agonism carries established risk of psychosis precipitation in individuals with psychotic spectrum disorders. The NBOMe class's steep dose-response and prominent anxiogenic profile further elevate this risk.
- Bipolar disorderabsolute
Bipolar I, Bipolar II
Potent serotonergic psychedelics carry risk of precipitating manic episodes and destabilizing mood in individuals with bipolar disorder.
Metabolic
- CYP2C9/CYP2C19 inhibitorsrelative
Fluconazole, Fluvoxamine, Omeprazole
CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 mediate O-demethylation of NBOMe compounds (Caspar et al. 2015, 25I-NBOMe). Inhibitors of these enzymes could reduce metabolic clearance of 25N-NBOMe, increasing plasma concentrations and elevating toxicity risk. No formal drug–drug interaction study has been conducted.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
- Pregnancyabsolute
Pregnancy, Breastfeeding
No data on reproductive or developmental toxicity for 25N-NBOMe or any NBOMe compound. Precautionary absolute contraindication based on the compound's potent serotonergic and sympathomimetic pharmacological activity.
Other
- MAOI useabsolute
Concurrent MAOI therapy, Recent MAOI use within washout period
MAOIs prevent serotonin degradation; co-administration with a potent 5-HT₂A full agonist dramatically increases serotonin syndrome risk. Serotonin syndrome documented for NBOMe compounds in systematic review (Schifano et al. 2021).
- SSRI/SNRI userelative
Concurrent SSRI therapy, Concurrent SNRI therapy
Co-administration with serotonergic antidepressants elevates serotonin syndrome risk. SSRIs may also attenuate psychedelic effects via 5-HT₂A receptor occupancy, leading to unpredictable dosing and potential compensatory redosing.
- Tramadol useabsolute
Concurrent tramadol use
Tramadol's serotonergic activity (5-HT and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition) compounds serotonin syndrome risk when combined with a potent 5-HT₂A agonist. Tramadol also lowers seizure threshold, compounding the intrinsic seizure risk of the NBOMe class.
