There is some preliminary evidence that chrysin might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) . Theoretically, chrysin might increase the clearance of drugs that are UGT1A1 substrates, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), estrogens (Estrace, Premarin, others) and oral contraceptives, entacapone (Comtan), irinotecan (Camptosar), and others.
