Drospirenone/Estradiol

Pronunciation: droe-SPYE-re-none/ES-tra-DYE-ol
Generic Name: Drospirenone/Estradiol
Brand Name: Angeliq

Estrogen, alone or in combination with progestin hormones, should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia. Estrogen taken alone or in combination with progestin may increase the risk of heart disease (including heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg (deep venous thrombosis), breast cancer, or dementia. These risks appear to depend on the length of time Drospirenone/Estradiol is used and the amount of estrogen per dose. Therefore, Drospirenone/Estradiol should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so you obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.

Drospirenone/Estradiol is used for:

Treating certain moderate to severe symptoms of menopause (eg, hot flashes; dryness, itching, and burning in or around the vagina). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Drospirenone/Estradiol is a combination of progestin and estrogen hormones. It works by replacing natural progestin and estrogen in women who can no longer produce enough of these hormones.

Do NOT use Drospirenone/Estradiol if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Drospirenone/Estradiol


• you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant


• you have kidney, liver, or adrenal gland problems


• you have a history of blood clots (eg, in the lungs, legs, eyes); endometrial, cervical, or vaginal cancer; estrogen-dependent growths; undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding; or breast cancer


• you have had recent (within the past year) bleeding in the brain, stroke, heart attack, or other serious blood vessel problems

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Drospirenone/Estradiol:

Some medical conditions may interact with Drospirenone/Estradiol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have had your uterus removed (hysterectomy), or you have a history of endometriosis, growths in the uterus, uterine fibroids, abnormal mammograms, or lumps in the breast


• if you have a history of asthma, heart problems (eg, heart failure), high blood pressure, blood problems (eg porphyria), blood vessel problems, heart attack, stroke, high cholesterol or lipid levels, diabetes, depression, dementia, gallbladder problems, pancreas problems, cancer, growths in the liver, lupus, migraine headaches, seizures, or underactive thyroid


• if you have high blood potassium levels, low blood sodium levels, or abnormal blood calcium levels


• if you have a history of fluid retention (swelling) or tobacco use, or if you are very overweight


• if a member of your family has ever had a blood clot (eg, in the lung or leg)


• if you have a history of jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin) caused by pregnancy or estrogen use


• if you will be confined to a bed or chair for an extended period of time (eg, because of surgery or a long airplane ride)

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Drospirenone/Estradiol. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Troleandomycin because the risk of jaundice (yellowing of the skin of eyes) and liver problems may be increased


• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, lisinopril), angiotensin receptor blockers (eg, valsartan), heparin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, ibuprofen), potassium sparing diuretics (eg, triamterene), or potassium supplements because the risk of high potassium levels in the blood may be increased


• Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), or macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin) because they may increase the risk of Drospirenone/Estradiol's side effects


• Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), carbamazepine, griseofulvin, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), penicillins (eg, amoxicillin), rifampin, St. John's wort, or tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline) because they may decrease Drospirenone/Estradiol's effectiveness


• Corticosteroids (eg, prednisone) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Drospirenone/Estradiol


• Lamotrigine or thyroid hormones (eg, levothyroxine) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Drospirenone/Estradiol

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Drospirenone/Estradiol may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
