No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Androstenetrione and Disulfiram 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.

Androstenetrione and Disulfiram

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 Disulfiram and Androstenetrione 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 Disulfiram

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Disulfiram is filed under 4 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors, seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. Androstenetrione has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being androgens (minor) — and none of Disulfiram’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.

What to actually watch for

What Androstenetrione Itself Has Been Linked To

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

  • Breast tenderness / Acne Additional detail

    “There is no data regarding oral use of androstenetrione in humans. However, androstenetrione might increase testosterone levels. Theoretically, androstenetrione might cause testosterone-like side effects including spermatogenesis and infertility, acne, testicular atrophy, gynecomastia, behavioral changes, cardiovascular disease, and potentially increase the risk of pancreatic and prostate cancer.”

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

Special populations

Pregnancy And Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When used orally. There is no scientifically reliable information about using androstenetrione during pregnancy or lactation. Promoters indicate that it can increase testosterone levels. If this is true, this product may not be safe due to the adverse effects associated with elevated testosterone levels; avoid using.

Where does our data come from?

About Androstenetrione

What is Androstenetrione?

Androstenetrione
  • Boosting testosterone
  • Lowering estrogen
  • Bodybuilding and muscle building
  • Post-cycle support for steroid users
  • Athletic performance

Androstenetrione (6-OXO) is a synthetic compound marketed to raise testosterone by blocking the enzyme that turns testosterone into estrogen. Solid human evidence that it offers real benefits is lacking, and it can cause hormone-related side effects, so most people should avoid it and talk with a healthcare provider first.

Synthetic compound (not from a plant) · Capsules, tablets

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

Androstenetrione: dosing

There is no established, standardized dose for androstenetrione, and no dose has been proven safe and effective. Different products contain different amounts.Because of the hormone-related risks and weak evidence, we cannot recommend a specific amount.

About Disulfiram

What Is Disulfiram Used For?

Brand name: Antabuse

Disulfiram is used as part of a treatment program for people with chronic alcoholism who want to stop drinking. It works by making the body react very unpleasantly to alcohol, which helps reinforce the commitment to stay sober.

It is not a cure for alcoholism, and it works best when combined with counseling, motivation, and support. Used alone, without those supports, it is unlikely to make a lasting difference.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Disulfiram

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,124 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 83 reports
Toxicity to various agents 64 reports
Nausea 52 reports
Confusional state 48 reports
Drug abuse 44 reports
