⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Thromboembolic Disorders and Vascular Events : Discontinue MYFEMBREE if an arterial or venous thrombotic, cardiovascular, or cerebrovascular event occurs. Discontinue MYFEMBREE if there is sudden unexplained partial or complete loss of vision, proptosis, diplopia, papilledema, or retinal vascular lesions and evaluate for retinal vein thrombosis immediately. ( 5.1 ) Bone Loss : Decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) may not be completely reversible.
Baseline BMD assessment is recommended in all women. In women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, periodic BMD assessments are recommended. In women with moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis, annual BMD assessments are recommended.
Assess risk-benefit for women with additional risk factors for bone loss. ( 5.2 ) Suicidal Ideation and Mood Disorders (Including Depression) : Advise patients to seek medical attention for new onset or worsening depression, anxiety, or other mood changes. ( 5.4 ) Hepatic Impairment and Transaminase Elevations : Counsel patients on signs and symptoms of liver injury.
( 5.5 ) Elevated Blood Pressure : Do not use in women with uncontrolled hypertension. For women with well-controlled hypertension, continue to monitor blood pressure and stop MYFEMBREE if blood pressure rises significantly. ( 5.7 ) Change in Menstrual Bleeding Pattern and Reduced Ability to Recognize Pregnancy : Advise women to use non-hormonal contraception during treatment and for one week after discontinuing MYFEMBREE.
MYFEMBREE may delay the ability to recognize pregnancy because it alters menstrual bleeding. Perform testing if pregnancy is suspected and discontinue MYFEMBREE if pregnancy is confirmed. ( 5.8 ) Risk of Early Pregnancy Loss : Can cause early pregnancy loss.
Advise women to use effective non-hormonal contraception. ( 5.9 ) Uterine Fibroid Prolapse or Expulsion : Advise patients to seek medical attention for severe uterine bleeding. ( 5.10 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions : Immediately discontinue MYFEMBREE if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs.
( 5.14 )
5.1Thromboembolic Disorders and Vascular Events MYFEMBREE is contraindicated in women with current or history of thrombotic or thromboembolic disorders and in women at increased risk for these events [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Discontinue MYFEMBREE immediately if an arterial or venous thrombotic, cardiovascular, or cerebrovascular event occurs or is suspected. Discontinue MYFEMBREE at least 4 to 6 weeks before surgery of the type associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, or during periods of prolonged immobilization, if feasible.
Discontinue MYFEMBREE immediately if there is sudden unexplained partial or complete loss of vision, proptosis, diplopia, papilledema, or retinal vascular lesions and evaluate for retinal vein thrombosis as these have been reported in patients receiving estrogens and progestins. Estrogen and progestin combinations, including the estradiol/norethindrone acetate component of MYFEMBREE, increase the risk of thrombotic or thromboembolic disorders, including pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction, especially in women at high risk for these events.
In general, the risk is greatest among women over 35 years of age who smoke and women with uncontrolled hypertension, dyslipidemia, vascular disease, or obesity. Two thromboembolic events (DVT and PE) occurred in one woman treated for 38 days with MYFEMBREE for moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis.
5.2Bone Loss MYFEMBREE is contraindicated in women with known osteoporosis [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. Consider the benefits and risks of MYFEMBREE treatment in patients with a history of a low trauma fracture or risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss, including taking medications that may decrease bone mineral density (BMD) (e.g., systemic or chronic inhaled corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or chronic use of proton pump…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Thromboembolic Disorders and Vascular Events [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Bone Loss [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Suicidal Ideation and Mood Disorders (Including Depression) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Hepatic Impairment and Transaminase Elevations [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Elevated Blood Pressure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Change in Menstrual Bleeding Pattern and Reduced Ability to Recognize Pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Uterine Fibroid Prolapse or Expulsion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] Alopecia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] Effects on Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.14 )] In women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 3%) are vasomotor symptoms, uterine bleeding, alopecia, and decreased libido.
In women with moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis, most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 3%) are headache, vasomotor symptoms, mood disorders, abnormal uterine bleeding, nausea, toothache, back pain, decreased sexual desire and arousal, arthralgia, fatigue, and dizziness.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Associated with Uterine Leiomyomas The safety of MYFEMBREE was evaluated in two placebo-controlled clinical trials, Study L1 (LIBERTY 1) and Study L2 (LIBERTY 2), in women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.
In these trials, women received a once daily relugolix 40-mg tablet and an over-encapsulated tablet of E2 1 mg and NETA 0.5 mg (relugolix + E2/NETA), which is equivalent to 1 tablet of MYFEMBREE. Across the two trials, 254 women received MYFEMBREE once daily for 24 weeks. Additionally, 256 women received placebo for 24 weeks, and 258 women received relugolix 40-mg monotherapy once daily for 12 weeks followed by MYFEMBREE for 12 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
Of these, 476 women were treated with MYFEMBREE in a 28-week extension trial, Study L3 (LIBERTY Extension), for a total treatment duration of up to 12 months. Demographics were similar across the studies; approximately 43% were White, 51% were Black, and approximately 23% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. The mean age at study entry was approximately 42 years (range 19 to 51 years).
Of women who completed Study L3, 229 were rerandomized to continue MYFEMBREE or withdraw from therapy (placebo) for an additional 52 weeks (Study L4). Serious Adverse Reactions In Studies L1 and L2, serious adverse reactions were reported in 3.1% of MYFEMBREE-treated women as compared to 2.3% of placebo-treated women. In MYFEMBREE-treated women, serious adverse drug reactions included uterine myoma expulsion and menorrhagia experienced by one woman and uterine leiomyoma (prolapse), cholecystitis, and pelvic pain reported for one woman each.
Adverse Reactions Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation In Studies L1 and L2, 3.9% of women treated with MYFEMBREE discontinued therapy due to adverse reactions, as compared to 4.3% receiving placebo. The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of MYFEMBREE was uterine bleeding (1.2%) with an onset usually reported within the first 3 months of therapy. Common Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions reported in at least 3% of women treated with MYFEMBREE fo…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Avoid use of MYFEMBREE with oral P-gp inhibitors. ( 7.1 ) Avoid use with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers, as the exposure of the components of MYFEMBREE may be decreased. ( 7.1 )
7.1Effect of Other Drugs on MYFEMBREE P-gp Inhibitors Co-administration of MYFEMBREE with P-gp inhibitors increases the AUC and maximum concentration (C max ) of relugolix [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] and may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with MYFEMBREE. Avoid use of MYFEMBREE with oral P-gp inhibitors. If use is unavoidable, take MYFEMBREE first, separate dosing by at least 6 hours, and monitor patients for adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] .
Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A Inducers Use of MYFEMBREE with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers decreases the AUC and C max of relugolix, estradiol, and/or norethindrone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] and may decrease the therapeutic effects of MYFEMBREE. Avoid use of MYFEMBREE with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to MYFEMBREE during pregnancy. Pregnant females exposed to MYFEMBREE and healthcare providers are encouraged to call the MYFEMBREE Pregnancy Exposure Registry at 1-855-428-0707. Risk Summary MYFEMBREE is contraindicated in pregnancy [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )].
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, MYFEMBREE may cause early pregnancy loss. Discontinue MYFEMBREE if pregnancy occurs during treatment [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . The limited human data with the use of MYFEMBREE in pregnant women are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes [see Data ].
In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of relugolix in pregnant rabbits during organogenesis resulted in spontaneous abortion and total litter loss at relugolix exposures about half those at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg. In both rabbits and rats, no fetal malformations were present at any dose level tested which were associated with relugolix exposures about half and approximately 300 times exposures in women at the MRHD, respectively [see Data ]. Epidemiologic studies and meta-analyses have not found an increased risk of genital or non-genital birth defects (including cardiac anomalies and limb-reduction defects) following exposure to estrogens and progestins before conception or during early pregnancy.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. There are insufficient data to conclude whether the presence of uterine fibroids or endometriosis reduces the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the United States general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of relugolix to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (Days 6 to 18 of gestation) resulted in abortion, total litter loss, or decreased number of live fetuses at a dose of 9 mg/kg/day (about half the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 40 mg daily, based on AUC).
No treatment related malformations were observed in surviving fetuses. No treatment related effects were observed at 3 mg/kg/day (about 0.1-fold the MRHD) or lower. The binding affinity of relugolix for rabbit GnRH receptors is unknown.
In a similar embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of relugolix to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis (Days 6 to 17 of gestation) did not affect pregnancy status or fetal endpoints at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day (300 times the MRHD), a dose at which maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain and food consumption) was observed. A no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity was 200 mg/kg/day (86 times the MRHD). In rats, the binding affinity of relugolix for GnRH receptors is more than 1000-fold lower than that in humans, and this study represents an assessment of non-pharmacological targets of relugolix during pregnancy.
No treatment related malformations were observed up to 1000 mg/kg/day. In a pre- and postnatal developmental study in pregnant and lactating rats, oral administration of relugolix to rats during late pregnancy and lactation (Day 6 of gestation to Day 20 of lactation) had no effects on pre- and postnatal development at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day (300 times the MRHD), a dose in which maternal toxicity was observed (effects on body weight gain).

No treatment related malformations were observed in surviving fetuses. No treatment related effects were observed at 3 mg/kg/day (about 0.1-fold the MRHD) or lower. The binding affinity of relugolix for rabbit GnRH receptors is unknown.
In a similar embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of relugolix to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis (Days 6 to 17 of gestation) did not affect pregnancy status or fetal endpoints at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day (300 times the MRHD), a dose at which maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain and food consumption) was observed. A no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity was 200 mg/kg/day (86 times the MRHD). In rats, the binding affinity of relugolix for GnRH receptors is more than 1000-fold lower than that in humans, and this study represents an assessment of non-pharmacological targets of relugolix during pregnancy.
No treatment related malformations were observed up to 1000 mg/kg/day. In a pre- and postnatal developmental study in pregnant and lactating rats, oral administration of relugolix to rats during late pregnancy and lactation (Day 6 of gestation to Day 20 of lactation) had no effects on pre- and postnatal development at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day (300 times the MRHD), a dose in which maternal toxicity was observed (effects on body weight gain). A NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 10…

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action MYFEMBREE is a combination of relugolix, estradiol (E2), and norethindrone acetate (NETA). Relugolix is a non-peptide GnRH receptor antagonist that competitively binds to pituitary GnRH receptors, thereby reducing the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to decreased serum concentrations of the ovarian sex hormones estradiol and progesterone and reduced bleeding associated with uterine fibroids and pain associated with endometriosis. Estradiol acts by binding to nuclear receptors that are expressed in estrogen-responsive tissues.
As a component of MYFEMBREE, the addition of exogenous estradiol may reduce the increase in bone resorption and resultant bone loss that can occur due to a decrease in circulating estrogen concentrations from relugolix alone. Progestins such as norethindrone act by binding to nuclear receptors that are expressed in progesterone-responsive tissues. As a component of MYFEMBREE, norethindrone may protect the uterus from the potential adverse endometrial effects of unopposed estrogen.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Estradiol and norethindrone acetate (components of MYFEMBREE) may have the following effects: Increased thyroxin-binding globulin levels leading to [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )]: Increased circulating total thyroid hormone concentrations as measured by protein-bound iodine (PBI), thyroxine (T4) levels (by column or by radioimmunoassay), or triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations by radioimmunoassay Decreased T3 resin uptake Unaltered free T4 and free T3 concentrations in women with normal thyroid function [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )].
Elevated corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations leading to increases in total circulating corticosteroid and sex hormone concentrations, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] . Possible decreased free testosterone concentrations. Possible increased other plasma proteins concentrations (angiotensinogen/renin substrate, alpha-1 antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin).
Increased plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and HDL2 cholesterol subfraction concentration, reduced low-density lipoprotein concentration, increased triglyceride concentrations. Accelerated prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and platelet aggregation time; increased platelet count; increased factors II, VII antigen, VIII coagulant activity, IX, X, XII, VII-X complex, and beta-thromboglobulin; decreased concentrations of anti-factor Xa and antithrombin III, decreased antithrombin III activity, increased concentrations of fibrinogen and fibrinogen activity; increased plasminogen antigen and activity.
Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose 9 times the maximum approved recommended dose of relugolix, the QT interval was not prolonged to a clinically relevant extent. The effect of estradiol and norethindrone acetate (two of the components of MYFEMBREE) on the QTc interval has not been studied.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetic parameters of relugolix, unconjugated estradiol, and norethindrone after administration of a single dose of MYFEMBREE to healthy postmenopausal women under fasted conditions are summarized in Table 7 .
