Drug & supplement interaction

Andarine + Mexiletine

Mexiletine brand name: Mexitil.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Andarine and Mexiletine 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 Mexiletine 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.

Andarine and Mexiletine

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 Mexiletine and Andarine 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 Mexiletine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Mexiletine is filed under 7 classifications — including cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) inhibitors, cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates, cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates. Andarine has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being androgens (moderate) — and none of Mexiletine’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Andarine and Mexiletine May Share a Side Effect

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. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

How to take them

Some Mexiletine Products Have a Food Rule — Andarine Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Mexiletine says to take it with food. If you take Andarine on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Mexiletine 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 Mexiletine 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.

Administration with food or antacid is recommended.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Mexiletine — 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 Mexiletine

This page covers Andarine only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Mexiletine page lists 152 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), 1,3-dmaa (moderate), Acacia Rigidula (moderate), Active Hexose Correlated Compound (ahcc) (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 107 moderate · 44 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mexiletine page

“Mexiletine (Mexitil) steadies the heart's rhythm, and its benefit depends on holding a fairly precise blood level, so the 152 supplements on this list deserve real attention rather than a shrug. Only one entry, activated charcoal, is rated major, because it can soak up the drug in the gut and cut how much actually reaches your bloodstr…”

About Andarine

What is Andarine?

Andarine
  • Muscle building
  • Strength gains
  • Fat loss / body recomposition
  • Athletic performance enhancement
  • Bone density support

Andarine (S-4) is a synthetic selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that is not approved by the FDA for human use and is banned in sports. It is not a legal dietary supplement ingredient, its long-term safety in people is unknown, and reported side effects include vision changes and possible liver and hormone problems. Because of these risks and its illegal status, we do not recommend using it.

Not applicable (synthetic chemical compound) · Capsules, tablets, liquid solutions (sold as research chemicals)

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

Andarine: dosing

There is no established or approved dose for Andarine because it is not a recognized medicine or legal supplement. We cannot recommend a safe dose, and doses circulated online are not backed by proper human research.Given that it is unapproved, potentially unsafe, and illegal to sell as a supplement, the safest choice is not to use it at all.

About Mexiletine

What Is Mexiletine Used For?

Brand name: Mexitil

Mexiletine Hydrochloride capsules are indicated for the treatment of documented, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias — for example, sustained ventricular tachycardia (a dangerously fast heart rhythm originating in the lower chambers). Because mexiletine itself can trigger arrhythmias, it is not recommended for minor or symptom-free irregular heartbeats.

Treatment is started in a hospital setting so heart rhythm can be monitored closely. Antiarrhythmic drugs, including mexiletine, have not been shown to improve overall survival in patients with ventricular arrhythmias.

Taking Andarine and Mexiletine Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Andarine with Mexiletine?
We do not list a known interaction between Andarine and Mexiletine. 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.
Do Andarine and Mexiletine have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
Should I take Andarine and Mexiletine at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Mexiletine says to take it with food. If you take Andarine on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Mexiletine with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Mexiletine products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
How was the Andarine and Mexiletine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Mexiletine is filed under 7 classifications, and Andarine has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Mexiletine's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Andarine interact with any other medications?
Yes. Andarine has 9 documented drug interactions in our database — Mexiletine is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Mexiletine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Mexiletine has documented interactions with 152 supplements in our database — Andarine is not one of them. The Mexiletine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
