relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate key facts
What dosages is relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate available in?
relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate is a fixed-dose combination oral tablet containing relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg.
What is relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate used for?
relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate is a GnRH antagonist / Estrogen replacement / Progestin and is used to treat the following:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding related to uterine fibroids in women who haven’t reached menopause
- Moderate-to-severe pain related to endometriosis in women who haven’t reached menopause
How does relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate work?
relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate is a combination of three medications. Relugolix is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. GnRH is a natural hormone in the body that plays a role in making estrogen and progesterone hormones. These hormones all play a role in maintaining your reproductive system. Relugolix blocks the actions of GnRH, which lowers the estrogen and progesterone levels in your body. This lessens bleeding that happens with uterine fibroids and pain from endometriosis. Estradiol is an estrogen replacement. It replaces some of the estrogen in your body that’s lost from relugolix. Replacing estrogen might help prevent bone loss. Norethindrone is a progestin (a lab-made form of progesterone). It replaces some of the progesterone in your body that’s lost from relugolix. This might help protect the uterus from damage from the effects of estrogen alone, which might help prevent uterine (endometrial) cancer.
How do I take relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate?
relugolix/estradiol/norethindrone acetate is typically taken as 1 tablet by mouth once a day around the same time each day, with or without food. It’s recommended to take the medication for a maximum of 2 years because of the risk for bone loss.
