Elagolixinteractions
elagolix 200 MG Oral Tablet [Orilissa]
This is the interactions section of this product’s FDA label — what the manufacturer documented for this drug. It is not a check of your medication list, and a drug missing from it has not been cleared: licensed clinical databases list far more interactions than any single label does. Before combining medicines, ask a pharmacist, who can check everything you take at once and will do it for free.

Drug interactions
See full prescribing information for a list of clinically important drug interactions.
7.1 Potential for ORILISSA to
Affect Other Drugs Elagolix is: A weak to moderate inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A. Co-administration with ORILISSA may decrease plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP3A (see Table 7). A weak inhibitor of CYP 2C19. Co-administration with ORILISSA may increase plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP2C19 (see Table 7). An inhibitor of efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Co-administration with ORILISSA may increase plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of P-gp (see Table 7). The effects of co-administration of ORILISSA on concentrations of concomitant drugs and the clinical recommendations for these drug interactions are summarized in Table 7. Table 7.
Drug Interactions: Effects of ORILISSA on Other Drugs Concomitant Drug Class: Drug Name Effect on Plasma Exposure of Concomitant Drug Clinical Recommendations Cardiac glycosides: digoxin ↑ digoxin Increase monitoring of digoxin concentrations and potential signs and symptoms of clinical toxicity when initiating ORILISSA in patients who are taking digoxin. If ORILISSA is discontinued, increase monitoring of digoxin concentrations.
Benzodiazepines: oral midazolam ↓ midazolam Consider increasing the dose of midazolam by no more than 2-fold and individualize midazolam therapy based on the patient’s response.
Statins: rosuvastatin ↓ rosuvastatin Monitor lipid levels and adjust the dose of rosuvastatin, if necessary.
Proton pump inhibitors: omeprazole ↑ omeprazole No dose adjustment needed for omeprazole 40 mg once daily when co-administered with ORILISSA. When ORILISSA is used concomitantly with higher doses of omeprazole, consider dosage reduction of omeprazole.
Combined hormonal contraceptives: oral ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel ↑ethinyl estradiol ↓levonorgestrel Advise women to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ORILISSA and for 28 days after discontinuing ORILISSA. See Tables 10 and 11. The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the change in the area under the curve (AUC) (↑= increase, ↓ = decrease).
7.2 Potential for
Other Drugs to Affect ORILISSA Elagolix is a substrate of CYP3A, P-gp, and OATP1B1. Concomitant use of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and strong CYP3A inhibitors for more than 1 month is not recommended. Limit concomitant use of ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and strong CYP3A inhibitors to 6 months. Co-administration of ORILISSA with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease elagolix plasma concentrations and may result in a decrease of the therapeutic effects of ORILISSA. Concomitant use of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and rifampin is not recommended. Limit concomitant use of ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and rifampin to 6 months. The effect of concomitant use of P-gp inhibitors or inducers on the pharmacokinetics of ORILISSA is unknown. OATP1B1 inhibitors that are known or expected to significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations are contraindicated due to increased risk of elagolix-associated adverse reactions.
