[11] In the United States, DHEA is sold as an over-the-counter supplement, and medication called prasterone.

[1] [15] As a result of this action, trilostane blocks the conversion of Δ 5-3β-hydroxysteroids, including pregnenolone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and androstenediol, into Δ 4-3-ketosteroids ...
