HelloPharmacist Bottom Line
Our Pharmacist Explains
What is this? The interaction data in the HelloPharmacist supplement database is licensed from Natural Medicines Pro by TRC Healthcare (Therapeutic Research). HelloPharmacist pharmacists often add our own analysis and context on top of that licensed data — such as this Bottom Line summary and the notes on individual interaction pages — and any such commentary is noted as ours.

St. John's wort is the interaction I would explain first to anyone using Annovera (segesterone acetate with ethinyl estradiol, a vaginal ring for birth control). It speeds the liver's clearance of these hormones, which can drop their levels enough to put the ring's contraceptive protection at risk. It is one of five major-rated entries among the 229 supplements and herbs on file here, and those five make this a page worth reading closely rather than skimming.

Grapefruit pulls the other way, raising hormone levels and side effect risk, while heavy drinking adds to a cluster of liver-stressing ingredients. Many of the 193 moderate entries involve estrogen slowing how the body clears caffeine, so caffeinated drinks and stimulant supplements may hit harder and linger longer than expected. A few herbs act on estrogen receptors themselves. The 31 minor entries carry less weight, but read the full entry on any product you take often.

What Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean

Severity — How Serious It Can Be

  • Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
  • Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
  • Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
  • No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.

Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented

  • Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
  • Probable. Interaction 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.
  • Possible. 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
  • Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

Where This Data Comes From

  • Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
  • Each entry links to a full report with the clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations for that exact combination.
  • Content is reviewed by licensed HelloPharmacist pharmacists — see our data sources and editorial standards.

How Does Our Interaction Checker Work?

Behind every verdict on this page is a category system. Our source database doesn’t document supplement interactions drug-by-drug — it documents them against groups of medications that behave the same way (for example, “drugs processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme” or “blood-thinning medications”).

So the check works in three steps: (1) Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol, and (3) each ingredient keeps its own severity, likelihood, and evidence grades from the underlying record. That’s why one supplement can carry several records for one drug — it may interact through more than one category.

Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol sits in 13 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates 121 ingredients

What supplements interact with Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol?
Our database currently documents 229 ingredients with a known Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol interaction (5 major, 193 moderate, 31 minor). The practical move: scan the major group first, then look up the exact supplements you take rather than reading all 229. The highest-ranked right now: Grapefruit, Siberian Cocklebur, Beer.
Which Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol supplement interactions are the most serious?
The 5 major-rated combinations — led by Grapefruit, Siberian Cocklebur, Beer, St. John's Wort and Wine — deserve real caution: these are the ones generally best avoided, or used only with your prescriber watching. If you take any of them today, don't panic and don't stop anything abruptly — call your pharmacist first. Jump to the ranked list.
Can I take vitamins or supplements while on Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol?
Plenty of supplements coexist fine with Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol; a shorter list does not. Rather than memorizing it, check the specific ingredients on your labels — the ranked list above covers every one we've checked, and multi-ingredient products can be checked label-by-label with our scanner. Try the label scanner or the interaction checker.
Do brands like Annovera have the same supplement interactions as Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol?
Yes — Annovera all contain Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol, so everything on this page applies to them equally. Interactions belong to the active drug, never to the brand on the box; the same is true of generics.
Where do these interaction ratings come from?
Every rating comes from the Natural Medicines database — the same evidence-graded reference pharmacists and hospitals use — and each interaction carries three separate grades: severity (how bad it can be), likelihood (how well it's documented in studies and case reports), and an evidence level. Our pharmacists review the content; we never let an AI decide an interaction. See how to read the ratings and our editorial policy.
Does Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol deplete any vitamins or nutrients?
It might — Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol has 7 reported nutrient-depletion associations in the research literature, which is a different question from interactions: instead of a supplement changing the drug, the drug may lower a nutrient over time. See the Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol nutrient depletion report for the specifics and what to discuss with your pharmacist.
What about Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol and my other medications?
This page covers Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol against supplements and herbal ingredients. Checking Segesterone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol against your other prescription or OTC medications is a different tool — our drug interaction checker covers that side.
