Spirulina exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antiviral, antidiabetic, and lipid-lowering biological activities. It may also have anticancer properties. These effects are attributed largely to its phycocyanin, carotenoid, and polyphenol content, which help neutralize free radicals and modulate immune responses.

General: Fatigue, dizziness, headache.

Skin: Irritation or allergic reactions.

• Immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate): Spirulina's immune-stimulating activity may counteract the effects of these drugs.
• Insulin and oral antidiabetic medications: Spirulina may independently lower blood glucose, and concurrent use carries a theoretical risk of additive blood glucose reduction.
• Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents (e.g., warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel): Spirulina may amplify bleeding risk when used with these agents.
• NSAIDs (e.g., naproxen, ibuprofen, diclofenac): Concurrent use may further increase the risk of bleeding.
• CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 substrates: Spirulina may inhibit these cytochrome P450 enzymes, potentially altering the metabolism of drugs processed by these pathways.
