S-23 and Atogepant

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 Atogepant and S-23 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 S-23 at all — not against Atogepant, 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 Atogepant’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves S-23. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Atogepant’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.

  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Migraine mentioned in 17.7% of FDA reports for Atogepant
  • Constipation mentioned in 6.9% of FDA reports for Atogepant
  • Drowsiness
  • Reduced appetite
  • Tiredness mentioned in 6.5% of FDA reports for Atogepant
  • Nausea mentioned in 9.2% of FDA reports for Atogepant

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Atogepant. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 6,568 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Atogepant that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. S-23’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no S-23 side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that S-23 has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Atogepant

This page covers S-23 only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Atogepant page lists 144 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 3 major · 103 moderate · 38 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Atogepant page

“Grapefruit is the single interaction I would want every Qulipta user to know first. Atogepant, a preventive migraine medicine, is cleared by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4, and grapefruit juice blocks that enzyme, so the drug can build up and side effects become more likely.”

About S-23

What is S-23?

  • Muscle building
  • Fat loss
  • Athletic performance enhancement
  • Body recomposition
  • Investigational male contraceptive (research only)

S-23 is an experimental, non-prescription synthetic drug called a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), not a dietary supplement, herb, or natural product. It has never been approved for human use, has not been proven safe in people, and is banned in sports; we do not recommend using it.

Not applicable; S-23 is a synthetic chemical compound · Liquid solutions, capsules, and powders sold as 'research chemicals'

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether S-23 is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our S-23 record says about it on its own.

S-23: dosing

There is no established or safe dose of S-23 for humans. It has never gone through the clinical testing that would set a safe and effective dose, so any amounts shared online are unverified and potentially dangerous.We do not provide dosing guidance for S-23 because doing so could imply it is safe to use, which it is not.
