Strontium and Conjugated Estrogens, Methyltestosterone

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Strontium interacts with whole categories of medication. Conjugated Estrogens, Methyltestosterone falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Strontium in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

ESTROGENS

1 of 2

Why this applies to Conjugated Estrogens, Methyltestosterone

Conjugated Estrogens, Methyltestosterone falls under ESTROGENS — the group Strontium interacts with.

Theoretically, estrogens might reduce the excretion of strontium, potentially increasing its effects and adverse effects.
A small clinical study suggests that treatment with estrogens for 5-6 weeks might decrease urinary strontium excretion. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to know about pairing strontium with Premarin plus Methyltestosterone. The estrogen part of this medicine may cause your kidneys to flush out less strontium in the urine, so a bit more strontium can stay in your body. In plain terms, your estrogen isn't changed by the strontium. Instead, the strontium itself could build up slightly, which mostly raises concern about strontium's own safety profile (it's been linked to blood clot and heart worries at supplement doses).

I'll be honest, this is based on a small study and lab work, so the real-world impact is uncertain. It's not a reason to panic, but since strontium already has heart and clotting cautions, please run it by your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

ANDROGENS

2 of 2

Conjugated Estrogens, Methyltestosterone also falls under ANDROGENS.

Theoretically, androgens might reduce the excretion of strontium, potentially increasing its effects and adverse effects.
A small clinical study suggests that treatment with androgens such as testosterone, nandrolone, oxandrolone, and oxymetholone for 5-6 weeks might decrease urinary strontium excretion. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the situation with your Premarin with Methyltestosterone and a strontium supplement. The methyltestosterone part of your medicine is an androgen (a male-type hormone). Some early research hints that androgens may slow how much strontium your kidneys flush out in the urine. If less strontium leaves your body, more of it could hang around and build up, which means a bit stronger strontium effect than expected.

I want to be honest about how thin this evidence is. This comes from lab and small short-term studies, and nobody really knows if it matters in real life. It's not about your estrogen-androgen medicine becoming dangerous, it's about the strontium possibly accumulating. Since strontium can carry heart and clot concerns of its own, please run this combo by your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

About Strontium

What is Strontium?

  • Bone health and osteoporosis
  • Reducing fracture risk
  • Tooth sensitivity (in some toothpastes)
  • Supporting bone density

Strontium is a mineral that has been studied mainly for bone health and osteoporosis. The prescription form (strontium ranelate) showed benefit for fracture risk but carries serious heart-related safety concerns, while the over-the-counter supplement form (strontium citrate) has much less evidence. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using it, especially if you have heart disease or are at risk for blood clots.
