Drug-drug interaction and doping: Effect of non-prohibited drugs on the urinary excretion profile of methandienone

The potential consequences of drug-drug interactions on the excretion profile of the anabolic androgenic steroid methandienone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one) are discussed here. More specifically, we have evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments the effects of seven non-prohibited drugs (fluconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, miconazole, fluoxetine, paroxetine and nefazodone) on the main metabolic pathways of methandienone. These are selected among those most commonly used by the athletes.
