Chỉ số theo dõi
Evaluate pregnancy (prior to treatment) and smoking status. Perform adequate diagnostic measures to rule out malignancy in case of undiagnosed vaginal bleeding. Monitor blood pressure prior to therapy and yearly; weight/BMI at baseline; vision changes, signs and symptoms of thromboembolic disorders, depression, and bleeding irregularities.

Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, and withdrawal bleeding. Management: Symptomatic treatment. Monitor serum K and Na levels, and for signs of metabolic acidosis.

May increase risk of breakthrough bleeding and diminished efficacy with CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, barbiturates, bosentan, carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, efavirenz, felbamate, griseofulvin, oxcarbazepine, topiramate). May increase the plasma concentrations of ciclosporin. May significantly decrease the plasma levels of lamotrigine. Plasma concentrations may be increased by moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, verapamil, clarithromycin, erythromycin, diltiazem). Increased serum K concentration with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-II receptor antagonists, K-sparing diuretics, K supplements, heparin, aldosterone antagonists, NSAIDS.
Ethinylestradiol: May inhibit clearance and increase plasma concentrations of CYP1A2 substrates (e.g. theophylline, tizanidine). May elevate plasma levels with ascorbic acid. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of ALT elevations with drugs containing ombitasvir, paritaprevir/ritonavir, with or without dasabuvir.
Tương tác với thức ăn
May increase the risk of breakthrough bleeding and diminished efficacy when given with St. John’s wort. Plasma levels may be increased when given with grapefruit juice.

May interfere with the results of certain tests for lipids, glucose tolerance, coagulation factors, plasma levels of carrier proteins (e.g. corticosteroid-binding globulin, lipid/lipoprotein fractions), parameters of carbohydrate metabolism and fibrinolysis; liver, renal, thyroid, and adrenal function.
Drospirenone may increase plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Ethinylestradiol and drospirenone suppress ovulation by negative feedback mechanism on the hypothalamus that changes the normal gonadotropin secretion pattern of FSH and LH by the anterior pituitary gland, thereby blocking the follicular FSH phase and midcycle surge of gonadotropins. They also alter the tubal transport of the ova through the fallopian tubes and the genital tract. The changes in cervical mucus and in the endometrium lead to inhibition of sperm penetration and unfavourable environment for nidation, respectively.
Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen with similar effects to estradiol.
Drospirenone is a structural analogue of spironolactone that has anti-mineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic effects, resembling the natural hormone progesterone. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Ethinylestradiol: Rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability: Approx 40%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 1-2 hours.
Drospirenone: Rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability: Approx 76-85%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 1-2 hours. Distribution: Ethinylestradiol: Enters breast milk (small amounts). Volume of distribution: Approx 4-5 L/kg. Plasma protein binding: Approx 98%, mainly to albumin.
Drospirenone: Enters breast milk. Volume of distribution: Approx 4 L/kg. Plasma protein binding: Approx 97% (except to sex hormone and corticosteroid-binding globulin). Metabolism: Ethinylestradiol: Undergoes significant gut and hepatic first-pass metabolism; metabolised in the liver primarily via aromatic hydroxylation by CYP3A4 isoenzyme to form various hydroxylated and methylated metabolites.
Drospirenone: Extensively metabolised in the liver via opening of lactone ring into the acid form of drospirenone, and via reduction and sulfation into 4,5-dihydro-drospirenone-3-sulfate. Subject to oxidation by CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Excretion: Ethinylestradiol: Via urine and faeces. Terminal elimination half-life: Approx 24 hours.
Drospirenone: Via urine and faeces. Terminal elimination half-life: Approx 30-40 hours.
