Résumé
Griseofulvin may reduce the effectiveness of combined hormonal contraceptives, with reports of breakthrough bleeding and contraceptive failure. The effect is thought to arise from enzyme induction.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Ethinylestradiol and Griseofulvin can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Pourquoi elle survient
Griseofulvin induces hepatic CYP3A4, increasing metabolism of ethinylestradiol.
