Abstract

DMT induces rapid antidepressant effects, but acute sympathomimetic side effects, particularly hypertension and tachycardia, limit its use. This study describes coformulations with short-acting beta-blockers or nitrates, matched to DMT's pharmacokinetics, to mitigate peripheral cardiovascular risks without compromising central therapeutic action, facilitating safer psychedelic therapy in vulnerable populations.
