Description

Generic Name

Drospirenone + Estradiol

Precaution

Before initiating therapy, all conditions/risk factors mentioned below should be considered when determining the individual benefit/risk of treatment for the patient. During HRT use, therapy should be discontinued immediately in case a contraindication is discovered, as well as in the following situations: 1. Migrainous or frequent and unusually severe headaches that occur for the first time or other symptoms that are possible prodromal of cerebrovascular occlusion. 2. Recurrence of cholestatic jaundice or cholestatic pruritus which occurred first during pregnancy or previous use of sex steroids. 3. Symptoms of a thrombotic event. In the event of new onset or deterioration of the following conditions or risk factors, the individual benefit/risk analysis should be re-done, taking into consideration the possible necessity of discontinuing therapy. The potential for an increased synergistic risk of thrombosis should be considered in women who possess a combination of risk factors or exhibit a greater severity of an individual risk factor. This increased risk may be greater than a simple cumulative risk of the factors. HRT should not be prescribed in case of a negative risk benefit assessment.

Indication

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), Climacteric syndrome in postmenopausal women including vasomotor symptoms (such as hot flushes and sweating attacks), sleep disorders, depressed moods, nervousness and atrophic, urogenital conditions caused by deficient endogenous estrogen production due to natural menopause, hypogonadism, castration or primary ovarian failure in women with an intact uterus, Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis

Contra Indication

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should not be started in the presence of any of the conditions listed below. The product should be stopped immediately, if any of the conditions appear during HRT use. Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding Known or suspected cancer of the breast Known or suspected premalignant conditions or malignancies, if sex steroid-influenced The excess risk disappears within a few years after stopping HRT. Endometrial cancer Prolonged exposure to unopposed estrogens increases the risk of development of endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma. The addition of DRSP opposes the development of endometrial hyperplasia caused by estrogens. Liver tumors In rare cases benign, and even more rarely, malignant liver tumors have been observed after the use of hormonal substances such as those contained in HRT products. In isolated cases, these tumors led to life-threatening intra-abdominal hemorrhage.

Mode of Action

Estradiol: Endogenous estrogen; reduces the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from hypothalamus, reduces release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from pituitary gland; increases synthesis of DNA, RNA, and various proteins in target tissues. Estrogen replacement reduces elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone LH and FSH in postmenopausal women Drospirenone: Progestin; spironolactone analog with antimineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic activity

Interaction

Pharmacodynamic interaction with antihypertensive medications and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) Hypertensive women treated with this combination drugs and anti-hypertensive medications, e.g. ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, and hydrochlorothiazide may experience an additional decrease in blood pressure. Combined use of this and NSAIDs or antihypertensive medications is unlikely to increase serum potassium. Concomitant use of these three types of medications together may cause a small increase in serum potassium, more pronounced in diabetic women.
