No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Methasterone 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.

Methasterone 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 Methasterone 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 Methasterone 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 Methasterone. 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. Methasterone’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Methasterone side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Methasterone has no side effects.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Pimecrolimus

The most serious there right now: Dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) (moderate), Turpentine Oil (moderate) and Alchemilla (minor).

By severity: 2 moderate · 1 minor.

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 Methasterone

What is Methasterone?

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

Methasterone (also called methyldrostanolone or 'Superdrol') is a synthetic, oral anabolic steroid — not a dietary supplement, herb, or natural product. It is a controlled substance in the United States and has been linked to serious liver damage and other harms, so it should not be used outside of legitimate medical or research settings.

Synthetic compound (not derived from a plant) · Oral capsules or tablets (illicit/gray-market products)

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

Methasterone: dosing

There is no safe or medically established dose for methasterone. It is not an approved medicine or legitimate supplement, and we will not provide dosing guidance for it.Because of its serious risks and its status as a controlled substance, the safest amount is none.

From our Methasterone monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.
