Do NOT use these medicines while on AAS

[mrt]

Actually this is a repost.

I posted this about a year ago and thought it would be good to know for new members and for those who missed.

While I was browsing I came across a medical site and I've thought it might be good to let you guys know.

"Other medicines--Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking anabolic steroids, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following:

Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) (with long-term, high-dose use) or
Amiodarone (e.g., Cordarone) or
Androgens (male hormones) or
Anti-infectives by mouth or by injection (medicine for infection) or
Antithyroid agents (medicine for overactive thyroid) or
Carbamazepine (e.g., Tegretol) or
Carmustine (e.g., BiCNU) or
Chloroquine (e.g., Aralen) or
Dantrolene (e.g., Dantrium) or
Daunorubicin (e.g., Cerubidine) or
Disulfiram (e.g., Antabuse) or
Divalproex (e.g., Depakote) or
Estrogens (female hormones) or
Etretinate (e.g., Tegison) or
Gold salts (medicine for arthritis) or
Hydroxychloroquine (e.g., Plaquenil) or
Mercaptopurine (e.g., Purinethol) or
Methotrexate (e.g., Mexate) or
Methyldopa (e.g., Aldomet) or
Naltrexone (e.g., Trexan) (with long-term, high-dose use) or
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) containing estrogen or
Phenothiazines (acetophenazine [e.g., Tindal], chlorpromazine [e.g., Thorazine], fluphenazine [e.g., Prolixin], mesoridazine [e.g., Serentil], perphenazine [e.g., Trilafon], prochlorperazine [e.g., Compazine], promazine [e.g., Sparine], promethazine [e.g., Phenergan], thioridazine [e.g., Mellaril], trifluoperazine [e.g., Stelazine], triflupromazine [e.g., Vesprin], trimeprazine [e.g., Temaril]) or
Phenytoin (e.g., Dilantin) or
Plicamycin (e.g., Mithracin) or
Valproic acid (e.g., Depakene)--Taking anabolic steroids with any of these medicines may increase the chances of liver damage. Your doctor may want you to have extra blood tests to check for this if you must take both medicines
Anticoagulants, oral (blood thinners you take by mouth)--Anabolic steroids can increase the effect of these medicines and possibly cause excessive bleeding "

If you cant take thyroid meds for over active ,I dont see why a person could take thyroid meds for under active either because it is the same medicine Synthyroid, every since i started having to take synthyroid I've had bad sides while on,I just decreased my thyroid med this morning to see if the gear is puting me into hyperthyroid because I been feeling very bad chest pain & burning like fire in my tendons and nerves & muscles. I think me taking thyroid meds is the reason because i use have very few sides if any on cycle.

P2-This concerns me. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism this May while between cycles. I immediately began 100mcg/ED of Synthroid. During my past cycles, I've experienced little or no adverse sides. I'm 2 weeks into my most recent cycle now. Since the bulk of what I'm currently using are long-acting esters, I have yet to see if the Synthroid will produce any ill effects.

P2-What should I be looking for? What increased side-effects did you experience?

I'd really want to know why some of those are on there... Especially TYLENOL!

yeah Im wondering too. But it says for long-term, high-dose... I only use it once in awhile.

 

[Ulter]

Tylenol is on there because the lethal dose and therapeutic dose are so close in comparison to any other OTC drug that it doesn't take much to put you in the danger zone with your liver if you are using oral AS.

 

[ZKaudio]

understandable, smoke instead

Most of those medicine names are unfamiliar to me but I think painkillers and anti-infectives are the ones which are most common and should be avoided as much as you can while on gear. Other stuff, I think is usually to be taken for more serious cases and you obviously shouldn't be on AAS anyway.

 

[sigweed]

i'd add accutane to that.
If you're taking any 17aa's, you'd be stupid to do accutane because it butchers the liver already, then imagine adding winny and/or dbol on top of that. Ouch!!
