MK-677 and Trazodone Interaction

Monitor
Mechanism-based 51% confidence

MK-677 and Trazodone have an interaction requiring monitoring for interaction with 51% confidence. Both MK-677 and Trazodone can raise blood pressure. Monitor BP regularly and consider adding cardiovascular support (cardarine, telmisartan, or similar). Both compounds affect the brain, so monitoring these systems is recommended.

Compound Profiles

MK-677

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist | Oral Growth Hormone Secretagogue

Selectively binds GHS-R1a receptors in hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering pulsatile growth hormone release while maintaining natural circadian patterns..

Half-life: ~24 hours Typical dose: Start 12.5mg daily, increase to 25mg based on tolerance growth hormone, weight loss, sleep

Trazodone

Serotonin Antagonist & Reuptake Inhibitor | Sleep Aid

Trazodone's sleep-promoting effects arise from a combination of pharmacological actions across multiple receptor systems. At low doses (25-100 mg), the dominant mechanism is potent antagonism of 5-HT2A serotonin receptors, which promotes slow-wave sleep and reduces sleep latency.

Half-life: ~5-9 hours Typical dose: 25-100 mg at bedtime (sleep) sleep
