- Intrarosa (dehydroepiandrosterone)
Interactions between your drugs
dehydroepiandrosterone (prasterone) elagolix
Applies to: Intrarosa (dehydroepiandrosterone), elagolix
GENERALLY AVOID: Since endometriosis is fueled by estrogen, coadministration with estrogen-containing medications including combination oral contraceptive pills is expected to reduce the efficacy of elagolix. The effect of progestin-only contraceptives is unknown. Elagolix is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist that inhibits endogenous GnRH signaling by binding competitively to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland. Administration of elagolix results in dose-dependent suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to decreased levels of the ovarian sex hormones, estradiol and progesterone.
MANAGEMENT: Women requiring contraception should be advised to use non-hormonal forms of contraception during treatment with elagolix and for one week after its discontinuation.
