Resumo
Bosentan induces CYP3A4 and may lower systemic levonorgestrel exposure from oral or emergency products. The intrauterine system acts mainly locally and is much less affected, so the concern is mainly for systemic formulations, and bosentan is teratogenic.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Bosentan and 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.
Bosentan belongs to Miscellaneous; Levonorgestrel belongs to Endocrine.
Por que acontece
Bosentan induces CYP3A4, increasing the metabolism of levonorgestrel.
O que fazer
Use a reliable method that does not depend on systemic hormone levels, such as an intrauterine system or copper IUD, rather than oral levonorgestrel alone. Consider a higher emergency contraception dose or a copper IUD for emergency use.
