Drug & supplement interaction

Cyanostane + Misoprostol

Misoprostol brand name: Cytotec.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cyanostane and Misoprostol 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 Misoprostol states a food rule worth keeping to.

Cyanostane and Misoprostol

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 Misoprostol and Cyanostane 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 Cyanostane at all — not against Misoprostol, 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.

What Misoprostol’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cyanostane. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Misoprostol’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Pain or burning when passing urine Worth acting on
  • Dehydration Worth acting on
  • Trouble swallowing Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 51 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Misoprostol. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 16,478 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Misoprostol that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Cyanostane’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cyanostane side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cyanostane has no side effects.

Cyanostane in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When used orally. Prohormones can be converted to active hormones in the body and cause adverse effects such as menstrual irregularities, infertility, hair loss, and acne. Prohormones have also been associated with hepatotoxicity and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies warn that dietary supplements containing prohormones are dangerous. Avoid using.

How to take them

Some Misoprostol Products Have a Food Rule — Cyanostane Should Not Break It

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

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended adult oral dose of Cytotec for reducing the risk of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers is 200 mcg four times daily with food.

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

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Misoprostol page

“Misoprostol (Cytotec) is taken by mouth to protect the stomach lining from ulcers caused by NSAID pain relievers, and all 17 of its recorded supplement interactions come down to the same problem, something in the gut keeping the pill from being absorbed properly. That deserves genuine wariness, because misoprostol that never reaches th…”

About Cyanostane

What is Cyanostane?

  • Muscle building
  • Strength gains
  • Body recomposition
  • Athletic performance

Cyanostane (often sold as 'Cyanostane Rx') is not a true dietary supplement or herb — it is marketed as a so-called 'prohormone' or designer anabolic steroid product. These products are not approved as supplements, may be illegal, and carry real risks of liver and hormonal harm, so we cannot recommend their use.

Tablets, capsules (sold as a bodybuilding 'supplement')

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

Cyanostane: dosing

There is no established, safe, or recommended dose for Cyanostane because it is not an approved supplement or medicine. A health professional can help you understand the risks and check on your liver and hormone health.

About Misoprostol

What Is Misoprostol Used For?

Brand name: Cytotec

Cytotec (misoprostol) tablets and misoprostol tablets are approved to reduce the risk of gastric ulcers (stomach ulcers) in patients who take NSAIDs — nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or diclofenac — and who are at high risk of ulcer complications. High-risk patients include older adults, people with serious ongoing illnesses, and those with a history of stomach ulcers.

It is important to note that misoprostol has not been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcers (ulcers in the first part of the small intestine) in people taking NSAIDs. It also does not relieve the stomach pain or discomfort that NSAIDs can cause.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Misoprostol

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (16,478 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Hemorrhage 1,322 reports
Abortion incomplete 1,159 reports
Nausea 1,031 reports
Arthralgia 977 reports
Rheumatoid arthritis 805 reports

Taking Cyanostane and Misoprostol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Cyanostane with Misoprostol?

Should I take Cyanostane and Misoprostol at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Misoprostol says to take it with food. If you take Cyanostane on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Misoprostol with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Misoprostol products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.

Yes. Misoprostol has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Cyanostane is not one of them. The Misoprostol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
