Talk to your doctor before using chenodeoxycholic acid together with estradiol. Prolonged use of estradiol can increase the risk for cholesterol gallstones and counteract the effectiveness of chenodeoxycholic acid in dissolving the stones. Your doctor may be able to suggest safer alternatives to estradiol while you are being treated with chenodeoxycholic acid. Otherwise, you may require more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. 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.

MONITOR: Drugs like estrogens, oral contraceptives, fibrates, and possibly other lipid-lowering agents that increase biliary cholesterol secretion may potentiate the risk of cholesterol gallstones and counteract the effectiveness of chenodeoxycholic acid.

MANAGEMENT: Therapeutic effects of chenodeoxycholic acid should be closely monitored if concomitant use with estrogens, oral contraceptives, fibrates, and certain other lipid-lowering agents cannot be avoided.
