Interactions between your drugs
estradiol fenfluramine
Applies to: elagolix / estradiol / norethindrone and fenfluramine
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with fenfluramine may decrease the plasma concentrations and therapeutic efficacy of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2B6 and/or CPY3A4 isoenzymes. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, might be increased clearance due to induction of CYP450 2B6 and intestinal CYP450 3A4.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring are recommended if fenfluramine is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2B6 and/or CYP450 3A4, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Monitoring for potential loss of therapeutic efficacy is recommended. The prescribing information for concomitant medications may be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration, as well as any dosage adjustments that may be required during coadministration and/or following the discontinuation of a CYP450 2B6 and/or CYP450 3A4 inducer.
estradiol elagolix
Applies to: elagolix / estradiol / norethindrone and elagolix / estradiol / norethindrone
Estradiol and other estrogen-containing medications may reduce the effectiveness of elagolix in treating your condition. If you require contraception, it is recommended that you use a non-hormonal form of contraception during treatment with elagolix and for one week after its discontinuation. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
