Hello,

Yes, it may cause harmful interaction if taken along with Effexor. Maca energy platinum XP contains organic black maca roots (highest in nutritional content), water, alcohol, and cellulose gum.

Since this herbal formulation contains alcohol as one of its ingredients, so taking it along with Effexor may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination which may result in falls and injuries.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
