ORILISSA Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is ORILISSA?
ORILISSA is the brand name for elagolix and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is ORILISSA available in?
ORILISSA is available as a 150 mg and 200 mg oral tablet.
What is ORILISSA used for?
ORILISSA is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist and is used to treat moderate to severe pain caused by endometriosis.
How does ORILISSA work?
ORILISSA is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, meaning that it attaches to and blocks GnRH receptors (a protein that responds to signals) in your pituitary gland. This lowers the release of hormones that cause pain due to endometriosis.
How do I take ORILISSA?
ORILISSA is typically started at 150 mg by mouth once daily for 24 months. Your dose might differ if you have dyspareunia (genital pain during sex) or liver problems.
Is it safe for me to take ORILISSA?
ORILISSA is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if any of the following apply.
- Pregnancy
- Known osteoporosis
- Severe hepatic impairment
- Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 inhibitors that significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations
