7-keto-dhea + Clofazimine
Clofazimine brand name: Lamprene.
We found no known interaction between 7-keto-dhea and Clofazimine 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 Clofazimine states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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.
7-keto-dhea and Clofazimine
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 Clofazimine and 7-keto-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.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for 7-keto-dhea at all — not against Clofazimine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
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.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Clofazimine Products Have a Food Rule — 7-keto-dhea Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Clofazimine says to take it with food. If you take 7-keto-dhea on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Clofazimine 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 Clofazimine 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.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For dapsone-sensitive lepromatous leprosy, 100 mg (two 50 mg capsules) daily with meals as a part of a combination regimen for at least 2 years is recommended.
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Clofazimine — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
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 Clofazimine
This page covers 7-keto-dhea only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Clofazimine page lists 64 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Alfalfa (moderate), Angelica Archangelica (moderate), Arrach (moderate) and Bacillus Coagulans (moderate).
By severity: 1 major · 52 moderate · 11 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clofazimine page
“Clofazimine (Lamprene) treats leprosy for months or years, so anything that quietly drains its blood levels deserves genuine caution. Activated charcoal is the single major-rated interaction among the 64 on file, binding the drug and cutting how much reaches your body.”

About 7-keto-dhea
What is 7-keto-dhea?
- Weight loss and fat burning
- Boosting metabolism
- Supporting muscle mass
- Improving body composition
- Anti-aging support
7-keto-DHEA is a lab-made metabolite of the hormone DHEA that is marketed mainly for weight loss and a faster metabolism. Unlike DHEA, it is not thought to convert into estrogen or testosterone, but the evidence that it helps with weight or metabolism is limited and comes from small studies. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you have any health conditions.
Not applicable (a manufactured metabolite of DHEA) · Capsules, tablets, powders (often in weight-loss or 'metabolism' blends)
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether 7-keto-dhea is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our 7-keto-dhea record says about it on its own.

There is no official or well-established standardized dose for 7-keto-DHEA. Doses used in studies and on product labels have varied, and we cannot recommend a specific amount.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Clofazimine
What Is Clofazimine Used For?
Brand name: Lamprene
Lamprene (clofazimine) is used to treat lepromatous leprosy — the most severe form of leprosy — including cases where the bacteria have become resistant to dapsone. It is also used when leprosy is complicated by erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), a painful inflammatory reaction that can occur alongside the infection.
Lamprene is always used as part of a combination regimen with other anti-leprosy drugs. Using it alone for initial treatment raises the risk of drug resistance.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Clofazimine
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (0 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Clofazimine Is Linked to Lower Levels of 7 Nutrients
Natural Medicines records Clofazimine as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with 7-keto-dhea — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
