Contraindications

Cardiovascular

  • cardiovascular diseaserelative

    hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, heart failure

    Transient blood pressure and heart rate elevation demonstrated for 2C-B at therapeutic doses. 2C-C expected to produce similar cardiovascular stress. Higher absolute doses required for 2C-C may increase total sympathomimetic burden.

Neurological

  • epilepsyrelative

    Seizures reported in 2C drug class intoxication presentations. Individuals with epilepsy or other seizure disorders face elevated risk.

Psychiatric

  • psychotic disordersabsolute

    All 5-HT2A agonist psychedelics carry absolute contraindication in personal history of psychotic disorders. Risk of acute psychosis precipitation, prolonged psychotic episodes, or permanent destabilization.

  • bipolar disorderrelative

    Risk of manic episode induction. Relative contraindication — risk varies with mood stability, medication status, and bipolar subtype.

Hepatic

  • hepatic impairmentrelative

    No 2C-C-specific hepatic data. Structural analogy with 2C-B suggests hepatic metabolism is primary. Significant hepatic impairment may alter drug exposure unpredictably.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

  • pregnancy and breastfeedingabsolute

    Absolute contraindication in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to absence of safety data and theoretical risk from serotonergic mechanism during development.

Other

  • concurrent MAOI useabsolute

    Concurrent use of MAO inhibitors (including moclobemide, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, selegiline, and ayahuasca/harmine) with 2C-C is contraindicated. Effects may be dangerously potentiated in both intensity and duration.

  • concurrent lithium useabsolute

    Concurrent lithium carbonate use is contraindicated with 2C-C and all serotonergic psychedelics based on community case reports of seizures.
