No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Mentabolan and Pimecrolimus 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.

Mentabolan and Pimecrolimus

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 Pimecrolimus and Mentabolan 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 Mentabolan at all — not against Pimecrolimus, 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 Pimecrolimus’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Mentabolan. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Pimecrolimus’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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • A skin rash mentioned in 22.9% of FDA reports for Pimecrolimus
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Headache

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Pimecrolimus. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,600 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Pimecrolimus that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Mentabolan’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Mentabolan side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Mentabolan has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Pimecrolimus page

“Pimecrolimus (Elidel) is an eczema cream, applied to the skin rather than swallowed, so its supplement interactions are few and they follow one pattern. All three ingredients on file are also used topically, and the two rated moderate, DMSO and turpentine oil, may pull more of the drug through the skin, amplifying both its benefit and…”

About Mentabolan

What is Mentabolan?

  • Muscle building and strength
  • Athletic performance enhancement
  • Body recomposition
  • Sold as a 'prohormone' bodybuilding supplement

Mentabolan is a marketing name for a synthetic steroid-like compound (often linked to dimethandrostenediol/prohormone chemicals) sold in some bodybuilding 'prohormone' products, not a natural herb. These designer steroid products can be unsafe, may be illegal or unapproved, and have been associated with liver and hormonal harm, so we strongly recommend avoiding them and talking with a doctor or pharmacist.

Not applicable (synthetic compound) · Capsules, tablets

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

Mentabolan: dosing

There is no established, safe, or medically recommended dose for Mentabolan. It is not an approved medication or a tested supplement, and product labels may be inaccurate.Because of the serious safety concerns, we do not recommend using it at any dose.
