Dymethazine + Irinotecan

Irinotecan brand names: Camptosar, Onivyde.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Dymethazine and Irinotecan 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 Irinotecan states a food rule worth keeping to.

Dymethazine and Irinotecan

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 Irinotecan and Dymethazine 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 Dymethazine at all — not against Irinotecan, 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 to actually watch for

What Dymethazine Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Irinotecan. It is the side-effect record for Dymethazine on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Dymethazine, this list is the first place to look. 3 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on Additional detail

    “There is a case of cholestatic jaundice with elevated liver enzymes, dark urine, clay stools, and pruritus in a 26-year-old male, likely related to the use of a product (Super DMZ Rx 2.0) containing methylstenbolone 10 mg and dymethazine 10 mg per capsule. The product was used at manufacturer-recommended doses of two capsules daily for up to one month. Liver enzyme levels gradually decreased after discontinuation.”

  • Kidney problems Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, dymethazine is possibly unsafe. As an anabolic androgenic steroid, there is concern that it might cause serious side effects including stroke, kidney failure, and liver injury.”

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

How to take them

Some Irinotecan Products Have a Food Rule — Dymethazine Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Irinotecan says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Dymethazine included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Irinotecan on its own and move Dymethazine to a meal later in the day.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Irinotecan 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.

Antiemetic agents should be given on the day of treatment, starting at least 30 minutes before administration of CAMPTOSAR.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Irinotecan — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. See the Irinotecan drug page ›

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.

About Dymethazine

What is Dymethazine?

  • Muscle building
  • Strength gains
  • Bodybuilding bulking cycles
  • Performance enhancement

Dymethazine is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (a so-called 'prohormone' or 'designer steroid'), not a true dietary supplement or herb. It carries serious health risks including liver damage and hormonal disruption, is banned in sports, and is not approved or recommended for use. We strongly advise against taking it.

Synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (not a plant) · Capsules, tablets

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

Dymethazine: dosing

There is no established or recommended safe dose for Dymethazine, because it is not an approved medicine or a legitimate dietary supplement. We do not provide dosing for it.Because it is an anabolic steroid with real health risks, the safest amount is none.

Taking Dymethazine and Irinotecan Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Dymethazine with Irinotecan?
We do not list a known interaction between Dymethazine and Irinotecan. 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.
Should I take Dymethazine and Irinotecan at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Irinotecan says to take it on an empty stomach, and supplements are usually taken with a meal — so taking them together at breakfast is the easy mistake. Where that applies, keep Irinotecan on its own and move Dymethazine to a meal later in the day. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient, so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Does Irinotecan interact with any supplements?
Yes. Irinotecan has documented interactions with 153 supplements in our database — Dymethazine is not one of them. The Irinotecan interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
