Pregnancy Category

Name : X
Description
Studies in animals or humans have demonstrated fetal abnormalities and/or there is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience, and the risks involved in use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweigh potential benefits.

Mode of Action

Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen while drospirenone is a progestogen with antimineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic activity. Combined oral contraceptives act by suppressing the gonadotropins. Oral contraceptives also produce changes in the cervical mucus, making it less favorable for sperm penetration even if ovulation occurs.

Interaction

Increased risk of hyperkalaemia when used with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, aldosterone antagonists, potassium salts or NSAIDs. Aminoglutethimide may increase hepatic metabolism of progestins. Increased risk of systemic acidosis when used with ammonium chloride. Serum concentrations may be reduced by aprepitant, topiramate, rifampin or protease inhibitors. Efficacy may be reduced by concurrent use of acitretin, carbamazepine, felbamate, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, topiramate, barbiturates, griseofulvin, modafinil. Oestrogens may decrease the clearance of benzodiazepines that undergo oxidative metabolism. Concurrent use may increase the serum levels of systemic corticosteroids, ciclosporin, tizanidine, voriconazole and selegiline. May affect the efficacy of coumarin derivativesl; thus combined use is not recommended. May reduce the efficacy of protease inhibitors and lamotrigine.
