While on anabolic steroids, it is wise to limit or avoid several substances and habits that amplify health risks. Excessive alcohol is a major concern, particularly with oral steroids that already strain the liver; combining both can worsen liver damage and blood pressure issues. Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, when taken regularly, may increase the chance of stomach irritation or bleeding alongside steroids that already affect gut lining and fluid balance. Recreational stimulants and heavy caffeine use can compound blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety problems triggered by androgens. A very high‑fat, ultra‑processed diet worsens cholesterol disturbances, so users should emphasise lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Finally, avoiding other unregulated drugs and keeping total supplement load reasonable reduces unpredictable interactions.
