Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Rapacuronium and 7-keto-dhea. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
7-keto-dhea Overview
7-keto DHEA (7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone) is a metabolite of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is produced by the adrenal glands. It is often used as a non-hormonal supplement to promote weight loss, improve muscle mass and increase metabolism.
Some studies have suggested that 7-keto DHEA may aid weight loss by increasing the activity of thermogenic enzymes, which are responsible for burning fat. It is also believed to increase muscle mass by stimulating protein synthesis and reducing muscle breakdown. Additionally, 7-keto DHEA may have antioxidant properties that could help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Unlike DHEA, 7-keto DHEA does not convert to estrogen or testosterone and does not activate androgen receptors, thus, it is not considered to have the same risks as DHEA supplements. However, more research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of 7-keto DHEA as a supplement.
