Interactions between your drugs
estradiol fezolinetant
Applies to: elagolix / estradiol / norethindrone and fezolinetant
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of fezolinetant, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In clinical drug interaction studies, coadministration of the potent CYP450 1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 80% and 840%, respectively. Likewise, the moderate CYP450 1A2 inhibitor, mexiletine, is predicted through physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to increase the Cmax and AUC of fezolinetant by 40% and 360%, respectively. The weak CYP450 1A2 inhibitor cimetidine is also predicted via PBPK to increase the Cmax and AUC of fezolinetant by 30% and 100%, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of fezolinetant with CYP450 1A2 inhibitors is considered contraindicated.
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.
norethindrone elagolix
Applies to: elagolix / estradiol / norethindrone and elagolix / estradiol / norethindrone
Elagolix may reduce the blood levels and effects of norethindrone. If you are using low-dose oral contraceptives, you may have an increased risk of breakthrough bleeding and unintended pregnancy. You should discuss the use of alternative or additional methods of birth control with your healthcare provider. If you take hormone replacement for menopause, notify your doctor if your medication is no longer controlling your symptoms or you experience abnormal bleeding. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. 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.
