7-Keto Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking 7-Keto against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto by Douglas Laboratories
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: 7-keto-DHEA, a compound related to DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a hormone your body makes naturally. The capsules also contain microcrystalline cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as inactive ingredients — these are standard binders and fillers that help hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for 7-keto-DHEA isn't established yet. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of the uses it's been studied for — PTSD, weight loss, depression, Raynaud syndrome, and aging.
That doesn't mean it won't work; it means the studies we have aren't robust enough to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't well established, so we don't have a clear picture of what happens if you take it for months or years. Side effects reported in trials include nausea and vertigo — both uncommon.
One case report noted low red blood cell levels in someone taking the supplement, though the significance isn't clear. Because 7-keto-DHEA is hormone-related, the safety data advises against it during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about either of those situations.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for 7-keto-DHEA. Still, if you take any medications, it's worth confirming with us or running them through the checker below before you begin.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
7-Keto might interest you if you're looking into DHEA alternatives, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't solid yet. The safety profile over the long term is murky.
Before you start, check with your pharmacist — especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have any concerns about hormone supplements.
