4-androsterone + Dronabinol
Dronabinol brand names: Marinol, Syndros.
We found no known interaction between 4-androsterone and Dronabinol 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.
4-androsterone and Dronabinol
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 Dronabinol and 4-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.
4-androsterone safety at a glance
Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dronabinol
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dronabinol is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. 4-androsterone has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being testosterone (moderate) — and none of Dronabinol’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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dronabinol page
“A glass of grapefruit juice can push dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros), the prescription form of THC used for chemotherapy nausea and appetite loss, to higher blood levels than intended, amplifying dizziness, sedation, and its mind-altering effects. That is one of three major-rated interactions among the 151 supplements and herbs 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. 4-androsterone 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 4-androsterone reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The 4-androsterone and Dronabinol records this page draws on were last updated July 10, 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 4-androsterone
What is 4-androsterone?
- Muscle building
- Strength and athletic performance
- Boosting testosterone
- Bodybuilding cycles
4-Androsterone (sometimes called 4-DHEA) is a lab-made prohormone marketed to bodybuilders as a way to raise testosterone and build muscle, but human studies are very limited and it carries real risks like liver strain, hormone imbalance, and cholesterol changes. Its legal status is uncertain in many places, and it may cause a positive result on drug tests. We do not recommend it without close medical supervision, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Synthetic steroidal compound (not a plant part) · Capsules, tablets, transdermal gels or creams, liquid drops
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 4-androsterone is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 4-androsterone record says about it on its own.
4-androsterone: dosing
There is no established, medically recommended dose for 4-androsterone. Doses used in bodybuilding come from product labels and informal community advice, not from rigorous clinical research.Because purity and strength can vary between products and the risks are significant, we cannot recommend a specific amount. Never assume that a higher dose is safer or more effective.

About Dronabinol
What Is Dronabinol Used For?
Brand names: Marinol, Syndros
Dronabinol — available as capsules (Marinol, Dronabinol) and as an oral solution (Syndros, Dronabinol oral solution) — is approved for two conditions in adults. First, it treats anorexia (severely reduced appetite) associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS. Second, it controls nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy in patients who have not gotten enough relief from standard anti-nausea treatments.
Both uses apply to all available formulations, but dosing timing and meal instructions differ between the capsule and oral solution products. Always follow the specific instructions for the product you have been prescribed.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Dronabinol
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (7,993 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
