Resumo
Barbiturates are enzyme inducers that accelerate progestin metabolism and can lower etonogestrel concentrations enough to cause contraceptive failure. Unintended pregnancy has been reported with enzyme-inducing drugs and implants.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Butabarbital and Etonogestrel 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.
Por que acontece
Induction of hepatic CYP3A4 by butabarbital increases etonogestrel clearance.
