19-nor-dhea + Sodium Oxybate
Sodium Oxybate brand name: Xyrem.
We found no known interaction between 19-nor-dhea and Sodium Oxybate 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 label for Sodium Oxybate states a food rule worth keeping to.
19-nor-dhea and Sodium Oxybate
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 Sodium Oxybate and 19-nor-dhea 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.
19-nor-dhea safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Sodium Oxybate
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Sodium Oxybate is filed under 3 classifications — sodium-containing drugs, seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. 19-nor-dhea has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being testosterone (moderate) — and none of Sodium Oxybate’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.

Some Sodium Oxybate Products Have a Food Rule — 19-nor-dhea Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Sodium Oxybate says to take it with food. If you take 19-nor-dhea on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Sodium Oxybate with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Sodium Oxybate products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
• Allow 2 hours after eating before dosing ( 2.3 ).

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Sodium Oxybate
This page covers 19-nor-dhea only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Sodium Oxybate page lists 25 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Biofeedback (moderate), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), Dendrobium (moderate) and European Mandrake (moderate).
By severity: 1 major · 15 moderate · 9 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Sodium Oxybate page
“Activated charcoal is the single major-rated interaction with sodium oxybate (Xyrem), and it earns that rating because the drug only works if each dose is fully absorbed; charcoal can bind it in the gut and weaken the nighttime control it provides for narcolepsy. Treat this list with genuine care, since 17 of the 25 ingredients on file…”

Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. 19-nor-dhea is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every 19-nor-dhea reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The 19-nor-dhea and Sodium Oxybate records this page draws on were last updated June 20, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About 19-nor-dhea
What is 19-nor-dhea?
- Muscle building and bodybuilding
- Increasing strength
- Athletic performance
- Supporting hormone levels
- Body recomposition
19-nor-DHEA is a synthetic 'prohormone' marketed to bodybuilders as a precursor to nandrolone-like compounds, not a natural plant supplement. There is very little reliable human research on its safety or effectiveness, and products like it carry real risks to the liver, hormones, and heart. We do not recommend using it without close medical supervision, and it may be banned in sports and restricted by law in some places.
Not applicable (a synthetic or semi-synthetic hormone derivative, not a plant part) · Capsules, tablets, sublingual tablets, sometimes combined in 'prohormone' supplement blends
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 19-nor-dhea is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 19-nor-dhea record says about it on its own.
19-nor-dhea: dosing
There is no established or medically recommended dose for 19-nor-DHEA. It has not been studied well enough to define a safe and effective amount.Products vary widely, and labels may not be accurate. Because of this, we cannot suggest a specific milligram amount.

About Sodium Oxybate
What Is Sodium Oxybate Used For?
Brand name: Xyrem
Sodium oxybate treats two major symptoms of narcolepsy: cataplexy (sudden muscle weakness triggered by emotion) and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). It is available in several products, each approved for these uses.
Xyrem (oral solution) and the generic sodium oxybate oral solution are approved for cataplexy or EDS in patients with narcolepsy. Lumryz (extended-release oral suspension) is specifically approved for cataplexy or EDS in patients 7 years of age and older with narcolepsy. The generic sodium oxybate oral solution label does not include the pediatric indication due to marketing exclusivity held by Xyrem.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Sodium Oxybate
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (65,536 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
