Enzyme inducers (e.g., CYP3A4) : May decrease the effectiveness of TYBLUME or increase breakthrough bleeding.

Metabolic Enzyme Inducers Clinical effect Concomitant use of CHCs with metabolic enzyme inducers may decrease the plasma concentrations of the estrogen and/or progestin component of CHCs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Examples Aprepitant, barbiturates, bosentan, carbamazepine, efavirenz, felbamate, griseofulvin, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, primidone, phenylbutazone, rifabutin, rufinamide, topiramate, products containing St.

Counsel patients to use a back-up or alternative method of contraception when enzyme inducers are used with TYBLUME.

Prevention or management Counsel females to use an alternative method of contraception or a backup method when enzyme inducers are used with CHCs.

Oral Contraceptives Clinical Impact Co-administration of multiple-dose phentermine and topiramate extended-release capsules 15 mg/92 mg once daily with a single dose of oral contraceptive containing 35 µg ethinyl estradiol (estrogen component) and 1 mg norethindrone (progestin component), in obese otherwise healthy volunteers, decreased the exposure of ethinyl…

Although this interaction is not anticipated to increase the risk of pregnancy, irregular bleeding (spotting) may occur more frequently due to both the increased exposure to the progestin and lower exposure to the estrogen, which tends to stabilize the endometrium.

Oral Contraceptives : Altered exposure of progestin and estrogen may cause irregular bleeding, but not increased risk of pregnancy.

Intervention Inform patients not to discontinue their combination oral contraceptive if spotting occurs, but to notify their health care provider if the spotting is troubling to them.

Advise patients not to discontinue oral contraceptives if spotting occurs ( 7 ).
