The bottom line No known interaction

Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Nintedanib Esylate states a food rule worth keeping to.

Interaction report

Trendione and Nintedanib Esylate

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 Nintedanib Esylate and Trendione 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 Trendione at all — not against Nintedanib Esylate, 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 Nintedanib Esylate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Trendione. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Nintedanib Esylate’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. 9 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on mentioned in 10.6% of FDA reports for Nintedanib Esylate
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 24 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Nintedanib Esylate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 188 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Nintedanib Esylate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Trendione’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Trendione side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Trendione has no side effects.

How to take them

Some Nintedanib Esylate Products Have a Food Rule — Trendione Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Nintedanib Esylate says to take it with food. If you take Trendione on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Nintedanib Esylate with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Nintedanib Esylate products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dosage: 150 mg taken orally twice daily approximately 12 hours apart taken with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Nintedanib Esylate — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Nintedanib Esylate

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Danshen (major), Grapefruit (major), Piracetam (major) and St. John's Wort (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Nintedanib Esylate page

“You take Ofev (nintedanib) to slow lung scarring, and this page deserves a careful read before any supplement joins it. Of the 285 ingredients here, the biggest cluster, over 200, can add to bleeding risk, a real concern since nintedanib itself can make you bleed more easily.”

About Trendione

What is Trendione?

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

Trendione (also marketed as estra-4,9,11-trien-3,17-dione) is a synthetic anabolic steroid sold as a so-called "prohormone" or "designer steroid," not a natural herb or vitamin. It is not a legitimate dietary supplement, has not been proven safe in humans, and is linked to potentially serious side effects, including liver harm. We strongly advise against using it and recommend talking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Not applicable; Trendione is a synthetic steroid compound, not a plant part · Capsules, tablets, oral powders (sold as a bodybuilding supplement)

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

Trendione: dosing

There is no established safe or effective dose for Trendione. Because it is a synthetic steroid rather than a studied medicine, no health authority has set a recommended amount.We do not provide dosing for this product because we do not recommend using it.

About Nintedanib

What Is Nintedanib Used For?

Nintedanib capsules are approved for adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) — a chronic, progressive scarring of the lungs — and for adults with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype, meaning fibrosing lung diseases that continue to worsen over time despite treatment.

Nintedanib capsules (including Ofev) are also indicated to slow the rate of decline in lung function in adults with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD), a lung complication of the autoimmune condition systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). Note that the Nintedanib esylate capsule product is approved for IPF and chronic fibrosing ILDs with a progressive phenotype, but SSc-ILD approval is carried by Ofev and other nintedanib capsule products — always confirm with your prescriber which product you have been prescribed.
