The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between 7-keto-dhea and Diazepam 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.

7-keto-dhea and Diazepam

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 Diazepam 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 Diazepam, 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.

7-keto-dhea safety at a glance

7-keto-dhea overall Use caution Short-term use appears generally tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety is not well established.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, and hormone-related supplements are best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety information is available, so it is best avoided while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What 7-keto-dhea Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Diazepam. It is the side-effect record for 7-keto-dhea on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add 7-keto-dhea, this list is the first place to look.

  • Dizziness Additional detail

    “Orally, 7-keto-DHEA has been associated with one report of vertigo in one clinical study.”

  • Nausea Additional detail

    “Orally, 7-keto-DHEA has been associated with two reports of nausea in one clinical study.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for 7-keto-dhea — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Diazepam’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Diazepam column appears here.

Overlapping uses

What Diazepam Is Prescribed For, and What 7-keto-dhea Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Diazepam is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. 7-keto-dhea is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Diazepam is prescribed for: Diazepam treats several different problems, depending on the product. Oral diazepam (tablets such as Valium, and oral solution) is used for anxiety disorders, short-term relief of anxiety symptoms, and symptom relief in acute alcohol withdrawal. It is also used alongside other treatments for muscle spasm and, adjunctively, for convulsive disorders (seizure disorders). Diazepam injection is used for the same anxiety and alcohol withdrawal uses.

Read the rest of what Diazepam is prescribed for

It is also used before endoscopic procedures, before surgery, and before cardioversion (when given intravenously). It helps with muscle spasm and tetanus, and with status epilepticus (a prolonged, dangerous seizure) as an add-on. Diazepam rectal gel and Valtoco nasal spray are used only for seizure clusters (acute repetitive seizures) in people with epilepsy ages 2 and older.

7-keto-dhea has been studied for:

  • Anxiety studied, not established 7-keto-dhea has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    7-keto-dhea for anxiety

    Although there has been interest in using oral 7-keto-DHEA for anxiety, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of 7-keto-DHEA for this purpose.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Diazepam on your own; if you are taking 7-keto-dhea for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

About 7-keto-dhea

What is 7-keto-dhea?

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.

7-keto-dhea: dosing

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.

Taking 7-keto-dhea and Diazepam Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take 7-keto-dhea with Diazepam?
We do not list a known interaction between 7-keto-dhea and Diazepam. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Are 7-keto-dhea and Diazepam used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for 7-keto-dhea in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Diazepam is being adjusted to a target.
Does Diazepam interact with any supplements?
Yes. Diazepam has documented interactions with 244 supplements in our database — 7-keto-dhea is not one of them. The Diazepam interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
