Feverfew and Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Feverfew interacts with whole categories of medication. Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Feverfew in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) SUBSTRATES

1 of 2

Why this applies to Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate

Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) SUBSTRATES — the group Feverfew interacts with.

Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist if you take feverfew alongside Myfembree (relugolix, estradiol, and norethindrone). Lab studies hint that feverfew might slow down a liver enzyme called CYP1A2. Since estradiol, the estrogen part of this combo pill, is partly handled by that enzyme, the theory is that feverfew could let estrogen levels drift a little higher. None of these drugs are prodrugs, so there's no flipping going on here.

If estrogen did build up, you might notice things like nausea, breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, or mood changes. That said, this is purely from test-tube research and has never actually been seen in people. So I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but it's worth a quick mention to your pharmacist or doctor before you start feverfew.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.

Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP3A4. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Myfembree combines three active medicines, and all of them rely on the liver enzyme CYP3A4 to be cleared from your body. In lab studies, feverfew has shown a mild ability to slow that same enzyme down. In theory, that could let these hormones build up a little higher than usual, which might mean more of the typical side effects like nausea, headache, breast tenderness, bloating, mood changes, or hot flashes.

Here is the reassuring part: this is only seen in test-tube and animal research, and it has not been reported in real people. The signal is weak, so it is more of a theoretical caution than a proven problem. Still, since Myfembree matters for your treatment, it is worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before adding feverfew.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate page

“Grapefruit is where I would start on this page. Myfembree (relugolix, estradiol, and norethindrone acetate) depends on the CYP3A4 enzyme to be cleared, and grapefruit juice blocks that enzyme, raising drug levels and side effect risk.”

What is Feverfew?

Feverfew
  • Migraine prevention

Feverfew is a daisy-family herb best known for migraine prevention, where some studies suggest it may modestly lower how often migraines occur, though the evidence is mixed. It is generally well tolerated for short-term use in most adults but should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and by people allergic to ragweed and related plants. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting it.

About Relugolix, Estradiol, and Norethindrone

What Is Relugolix, Estradiol, and Norethindrone Used For?

Brand name: Myfembree

Myfembree is approved for two conditions in premenopausal women: managing heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus), and managing moderate to severe pain caused by endometriosis (a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus).

Treatment with Myfembree should not exceed 24 months because of the risk of ongoing bone loss that may not fully reverse after stopping the medication.
