ड्रोस्पिरेनोन और एथिनिल एस्ट्राडियोल और फ्लुड्रोकॉर्टिसोन का इंटरैक्शन

Estrogen —increased levels of corticosteroid-binding globulin thereby increasing the bound (inactive) fraction; this effect is at least balanced by decreased metabolism of corticosteroids.

When estrogen therapy is initiated, a reduction in corticosteroid dosage may be required, and increased amounts may be required when estrogen is terminated.

• Hyperkalemia : DRSP has anti-mineralocorticoid activity.

…[See Adverse Reactions ( 6 ).] Figure 1: VTE Risk with Yasmin Relative to LNG-Containing COCs (adjusted risk#) Figure 2 Likelihood of Developing a VTE 5.2 Hyperkalemia Yaz contains 3 mg of the progestin DRSP which has anti-mineralocorticoid activity, including the potential for hyperkalemia in high-risk patients, comparable to a 25 mg dose of spironolactone.

DRSP causes an increase in plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone induced by its mild anti-mineralocorticoid activity.

Steroid hormones may be poorly metabolized in patients with impaired liver function.

Antibiotics : There have been reports of pregnancy while taking hormonal contraceptives and antibiotics, but clinical pharmacokinetic studies have not shown consistent effects of antibiotics on plasma concentrations of synthetic steroids.
