Product Information:

1. People Use This For:

 Orally, androstenediol is used to increase endogenous testosterone production to increase energy, enhance recovery and growth from exercise, heighten sexual arousal and function, and to promote a greater sense of well being.

2. Mechanism of Action:  

Androstenediol, a prohormone, is a weak steroid hormone and is a direct precursor of testosterone (1905). Androstenediol can be converted to estradiol, estrone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and testosterone; and may increase levels of these hormones (1905, 10162). 

3. Interactions with Drugs:

(1) ESTROGENS

Interaction Rating = Moderate Be cautious with this combination.

Severity = Moderate ? Occurrence = Possible ? Level of Evidence = B

Intake of androstenediol can increase levels of the estrogens, estradiol, and estrone (1905). Theoretically, concomitant use with androstenediol might increase therapeutic and adverse effects of estrogens. Some of these drugs include CombiPatch, Estraderm Transdermal, Kestrone, Vivelle Transdermal, and others.

(2) TESTOSTERONE

Interaction Rating = Moderate Be cautious with this combination.

Severity = Moderate ? Occurrence = Possible ? Level of Evidence = B

Androstenediol is a precursor to testosterone and can increase levels of testosterone (1905). Theoretically, concomitant use with androstenediol might increase therapeutic and adverse effects of testosterone. Some of these drugs include Androderm Transdermal, AndroGel, Depo-Testosterone, Testex, Testoderm, and others.
