Interaction report

Grape and Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate

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

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Grape interacts with whole categories of medication. Relugolix, Estradiol, Norethindrone Acetate falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Grape 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 Grape interacts with.

Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

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

Here's the gist with Myfembree (relugolix, estradiol, norethindrone) and grape products. Grape juice may gently speed up a liver enzyme called CYP1A2, which helps break down certain medicines. If grape nudges that enzyme to work faster, in theory it could lower the levels of components in Myfembree and make them a little less effective. For a hormone therapy used to manage heavy bleeding or pain from fibroids or endometriosis, that could mean less symptom control.

That said, this is mostly theoretical, based on a small study using a different drug. Everyday amounts of grapes you eat are very unlikely to matter. If you're considering a concentrated grape seed extract supplement, just run it by your pharmacist or doctor first.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

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

It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have 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 hormones (relugolix, estradiol, and norethindrone) that your liver processes in part through an enzyme called CYP3A4. None of these are prodrugs, so they already work in the form you take them. Grape seed extract might nudge this enzyme one way or the other, but honestly the science is muddy. Lab tests hint it could slow the enzyme (which could raise hormone levels and side effects like nausea, headache, breast tenderness, mood changes, or spotting), while animal studies hint it could speed it up (which might weaken the medicine's control of your symptoms).

Here's the reassuring part: this has never actually been reported in people, and eating grapes is not a concern. If you're thinking about a concentrated grape seed extract supplement, just run it by your pharmacist or doctor first.

Severity how clinically significant the interaction is
Major

Clinically significant. Avoid the combination, or use only under close professional supervision.

Moderate

Usually worth avoiding or managing — may need monitoring, a dose change, or timing apart.

Minor

Generally not serious. Be aware of it and mention it to your pharmacist.

Likelihood how strong the evidence is that the interaction actually happens in people
  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction 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.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

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.”

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.
