Using ethinyl estradiol together with metyraPONE can interfere with metyraPONE. You should be aware of the possibility of a diagnostic interference if you use both medications. You may need a dose adjustment or special test 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: Estrogen therapy may reduce the response to metyrapone test. The mechanism is related to an increase in serum cortisol-binding globulin (transcortin) induced by estrogens, resulting in decreased cortisol clearance. The increase in circulating cortisol may directly interfere with test results, since the pharmacologic effect of metyrapone is to inhibit adrenal production of cortisol and corticosterone in order to elicit an increase in ACTH production by the pituitary.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should recognize the potential for a diminished response to metyrapone test in patients treated with estrogens.
