Drug & supplement interaction

Strontium + Fluoroestradiol F18

Fluoroestradiol F18 brand name: Cerianna.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Strontium and Fluoroestradiol F18 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.

Strontium and Fluoroestradiol F18

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 Fluoroestradiol F18 and Strontium 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.

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 Strontium Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Fluoroestradiol F18. It is the side-effect record for Strontium on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Strontium, this list is the first place to look. 3 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Bone thinning Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, clinical research shows that strontium ranelate increases the relative risk of venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism by about 50% compared with placebo. The reason for this is unknown. Strontium ranelate also seems to increase the risk of myocardial infarction by about 1.6-fold in patients with osteoporosis.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Strontium — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on.

Special populations

Strontium in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Safe

When consumed orally in food amounts. Strontium has not been linked to toxicity when consumed in dietary amounts, which are typically about 0.5 mg to 1.5 mg/day. ...when strontium chloride is used topically and appropriately as a toothpaste. Strontium chloride hexahydrate (Sensodyne-SC) is an FDA approved product.

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Unsafe

When strontium-89 chloride is used during pregnancy or lactation. Strontium-89 chloride is a radioactive isotope which may cause fetal harm. It is FDA pregnancy risk category D; avoid using. Since strontium behaves similarly to calcium in the body, strontium-89 is likely to be excreted into breast milk; avoid using during lactation. There is insufficient reliable information about the safety of oral strontium when used in amounts exceeding typical dietary intake during pregnancy or lactation; avoid using.

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.

Mineral element (not a plant) · Capsules and tablets, usually as strontium citrate or strontium ranelate (prescription in some countries)

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

Strontium: dosing

There is no firmly established dose for over-the-counter strontium supplements. Strontium and calcium compete for absorption, so they are usually taken at different times of day. Do not assume more is better, since higher amounts may increase risks.
