1-androsterone + Cedazuridine, Decitabine

Cedazuridine, Decitabine brand name: Inqovi.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between 1-androsterone and Cedazuridine, Decitabine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

1-androsterone and Cedazuridine, Decitabine

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Cedazuridine, Decitabine and 1-androsterone in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Cedazuridine, Decitabine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Cedazuridine, Decitabine is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. 1-androsterone has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being testosterone (moderate) — and none of Cedazuridine, Decitabine’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests 1-androsterone and Cedazuridine, Decitabine May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Kidney problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    1-androsterone

    “Significant increases in serum creatinine of around 0.2 mg/dL and significant decreases in GFR of around 16.4 mL/min/1.72m2 have been reported in patients taking 1-androsterone for 4 weeks. Serum creatinine remained within normal range despite the elevation, GFR dropped below 89 mL/min/1.72m2, which is suggestive of renal impairment.”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Cedazuridine, Decitabine page

“Inqovi pairs decitabine, an oral chemotherapy for certain blood cancers, with cedazuridine, whose whole job is helping the decitabine absorb properly. That is exactly why this list warrants genuine care, because every flagged supplement works the same way, by interfering with absorption in the gut.”

About 1-androsterone

What is 1-androsterone?

1-androsterone
  • Muscle building
  • Increasing strength
  • Athletic performance
  • Body recomposition

1-Androsterone (1-DHEA or 1-Andro) is a synthetic prohormone marketed to bodybuilders for muscle and strength gains, but it has not been proven safe or effective in quality human studies. It can affect hormones and may harm the liver and other organs, so most pharmacists would recommend avoiding it.

Synthetic compound (not a plant part) · Capsules, tablets, sometimes combined with other prohormones

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 1-androsterone is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 1-androsterone record says about it on its own.

1-androsterone: dosing

There is no established safe or standard dose for 1-androsterone, and no medical guideline supports its use. Products vary widely in strength and ingredients.Because of the health risks involved, the safest choice for most people is not to use it at all. Never combine it with other prohormones or hormone products.
