What Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean

Severity — How Serious It Can Be

  • Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
  • Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
  • Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
  • No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.

Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented

  • Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
  • Probable. Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • Possible. 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
  • Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

Where This Data Comes From

  • Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
  • Each drug listed above links to the full report for that exact Dymethazine combination — clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations.

Overview

Dymethazine is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid, not a plant, herb, or natural dietary supplement. It is a lab-made compound that has been sold as a 'prohormone' or 'designer steroid' in some bodybuilding and sports supplement products, often without clearly disclosing what it really is.

Chemically, Dymethazine is closely related to other man-made anabolic steroids. It was marketed mainly to people who want to build muscle or improve athletic performance. Because of safety concerns, products containing it have drawn warnings from regulators, and selling it as a supplement is illegal in many places.

It is important to understand that despite being found on supplement shelves in the past, Dymethazine behaves like a prescription-strength steroid in the body — with similar risks.

How it works

Like other anabolic-androgenic steroids, Dymethazine is thought to act on androgen receptors in muscle and other tissues. This can promote protein building in muscle, which is how steroids generally increase muscle size and strength.

Because it is a steroid, it can also affect the body's own hormone system, signaling the body to reduce its natural testosterone production. Much of what is 'known' about its mechanism is inferred from related steroids rather than from direct, high-quality studies on Dymethazine itself.

Safety & precautions

Dymethazine is not considered safe. Like other oral anabolic steroids, it can be toxic to the liver and may cause liver injury, especially with higher doses or longer use. It can also disrupt hormones and raise the risk of cardiovascular problems.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Anabolic steroids can harm a developing baby and disrupt hormones. Dymethazine should be avoided completely if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

People with liver disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prostate problems, or a history of hormone-sensitive cancers should not use it. Teenagers and young adults whose bodies are still developing are at particular risk. Because supplement labels may not list this ingredient honestly, you may be exposed without knowing it — always check products with a pharmacist.

Side effects

Reported and expected side effects of anabolic steroids like Dymethazine include:

  • Liver damage (a key concern with oral steroids)
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Hair loss or unwanted hair growth
  • Mood changes, irritability, or aggression
  • Reduced natural testosterone, shrinking testicles, and reduced fertility
  • Breast tissue growth in men (gynecomastia)
  • Voice deepening and other masculinizing effects in women
  • High blood pressure and worsened cholesterol

Some of these effects, such as voice changes in women, can be permanent. Severe liver problems and cardiovascular events are rare but serious risks. Stop use and seek medical care for symptoms like yellowing skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or chest pain.

Dymethazine: Reported Adverse Effects

Documented safety reports on Dymethazine from the evidence-graded Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) database, shown word-for-word from the licensed record.

Orally, dymethazine is possibly unsafe. As an anabolic androgenic steroid, there is concern that it might cause serious side effects including stroke, kidney failure, and liver injury.

Reports by condition
Myasthenia gravis Hepatic

There is a case of cholestatic jaundice with elevated liver enzymes, dark urine, clay stools, and pruritus in a 26-year-old male, likely related to the use of a product (Super DMZ Rx 2.0) containing methylstenbolone 10 mg and dymethazine 10 mg per capsule. The product was used at manufacturer-recommended doses of two capsules daily for up to one month. Liver enzyme levels gradually decreased after discontinuation. The specific role of dymethazine cannot be determined from this report.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Dymethazine & Pregnancy

Possibly Unsafe

When used orally. Anabolic androgenic steroids can disrupt the body's hormonal balance and cause various adverse effects including reduced fertility, hair loss, acne, and behavioral changes. Anabolic androgenic steroid use has also been associated with hepatotoxicity and increased risk for heart disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies warn that dietary supplements containing anabolic steroids are dangerous. Avoid using.
