Consumer:Ulipristal may temporarily reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. Therefore, you should use an additional method of birth control such as condoms following treatment with ulipristal until your next menstrual period. You should discuss your contraceptive options with your healthcare provider. Do not combine ulipristal with other emergency contraception such as Plan B. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:ADDITIONAL CONTRACEPTION RECOMMENDED: Coadministration with ulipristal may reduce the efficacy of combination hormonal contraceptives. There are no clinical data regarding use of ulipristal with regular hormonal contraceptives. However, due to its high-affinity binding to the progesterone receptor, ulipristal may interfere with the pharmacologic action of progestogens.
GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant use of ulipristal and emergency contraception containing levonorgestrel is not recommended.
MANAGEMENT: After emergency contraception with ulipristal, routine contraception should be continued or initiated as soon as possible to ensure ongoing prevention of pregnancy. Patients who receive contraceptives containing levonorgestrel or other progestogens should also use a reliable barrier method of contraception until their next menstrual period.
