If you require contraception, it is recommended that you use a non-hormonal form of contraception during treatment with elagolix and for one week after its discontinuation. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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.

GENERALLY AVOID: Since endometriosis is fueled by estrogen, coadministration with estrogen-containing medications including combination oral contraceptive pills is expected to reduce the efficacy of elagolix. The effect of progestin-only contraceptives is unknown. Elagolix is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist that inhibits endogenous GnRH signaling by binding competitively to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland. Administration of elagolix results in dose-dependent suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to decreased levels of the ovarian sex hormones, estradiol and progesterone.

MANAGEMENT: Women requiring contraception should be advised to use non-hormonal forms of contraception during treatment with elagolix and for one week after its discontinuation.
