Sintesi

Atazanavir alters ethinyl estradiol exposure, and when boosted with ritonavir can reduce it, while progestin exposure may increase. This may lead to reduced contraceptive reliability, breakthrough bleeding, or progestin-related adverse effects.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Atazanavir and Desogestrel-ethinyl estradiol 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.

Atazanavir belongs to Anti Virals; Desogestrel-ethinyl estradiol belongs to Endocrine.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Atazanavir inhibits CYP3A4 and UGT1A1, while ritonavir boosting induces glucuronidation, altering ethinyl estradiol and progestin levels.

Cosa fare

Use a contraceptive containing at least 30 mcg ethinyl estradiol with unboosted atazanavir, or choose an alternative or additional non-hormonal method. Avoid products with less than 30 mcg ethinyl estradiol with boosted atazanavir.
