Sintesi
Elagolix suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, and estrogen-containing contraceptives are expected to oppose its effect and reduce its efficacy. Elagolix is also not a reliable contraceptive when combined with hormonal methods, and its own effect on contraceptive efficacy is uncertain.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Elagolix and Ethinyl estradiol-levonorgestrel 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.
Elagolix belongs to Musculoskeletal; Ethinyl estradiol-levonorgestrel belongs to Endocrine.
Perché avviene
Pharmacodynamic antagonism between exogenous estrogen/progestin and GnRH receptor antagonism by elagolix.
Cosa fare
