Limitations of Use
Use of MYFEMBREE should be limited to 24 months due to the risk of continued bone loss which may not be reversible [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Tablets: Each tablet of MYFEMBREE contains a fixed-dose combination of relugolix 40 mg, estradiol (E2) 1 mg, and norethindrone acetate (NETA) 0.5 mg. The tablets are light yellow to yellow, round, film-coated, and debossed with "MVT" on one side and "415" on the other side.
Contraindication in Patients with Hepatic Impairment
MYFEMBREE is contraindicated in patients with known hepatic impairment or disease [see Contraindications (4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)]. Steroid hormones may be poorly metabolized in patients with impaired liver function [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Transaminase Elevations
Instruct women to promptly seek medical attention for symptoms or signs that may reflect liver injury, such as jaundice or right upper abdominal pain. Acute liver test abnormalities may necessitate the discontinuation of MYFEMBREE use until the liver tests return to normal and MYFEMBREE causation has been excluded.
In Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials, elevations [≥ 3 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN) reference range] in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) occurred in 0.4% (1/254) of women treated with MYFEMBREE compared with no elevations in placebo-treated women. Elevations ≥ 3 times ULN in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 0.8% (2/254) of women treated with MYFEMBREE compared with 0.4% (1/256) of placebo-treated women. No pattern in time to onset of these liver transaminase elevations was identified.
Serious Adverse Reactions
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 3.1% of MYFEMBREE-treated women compared with 2.3% of placebo-treated women in Studies L1 and L2. In MYFEMBREE-treated women, serious adverse drug reactions included uterine myoma expulsion and menorrhagia experienced by one woman, uterine leiomyoma (prolapse), cholecystitis, and pelvic pain reported for one woman each.
Adverse Reactions Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation
In the two placebo-controlled clinical trials (Study L1 and Study L2), 3.9% of women treated with MYFEMBREE discontinued therapy due to adverse reactions, compared with 4.3% receiving placebo. The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of MYFEMBREE was uterine bleeding (1.2%) with 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 and at an incidence greater than placebo during double-blind placebo-controlled treatment are summarized in Table 1.
Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in 3% or More of Women Treated with MYFEMBREE and at a Greater Incidence than Placebo in Studies L1 and L2 | Adverse Reaction | MYFEMBREE (N = 254) % | Placebo (N = 256) % |
|---|
| Hot flush, hyperhidrosis, or night sweats | 10.6 | 6.6 |
| Abnormal uterine bleeding Includes menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, vaginal haemorrhage, polymenorrhoea, and menstruation irregular. | 6.3 | 1.2 |
| Alopecia | 3.5 | 0.8 |
| Libido decreased Includes libido decreased and loss of libido. | 3.1 | 0.4 |
In one of the two Phase 3 clinical trials (Study L1), more women experienced the adverse reaction of new or worsening hypertension with MYFEMBREE as compared to placebo (7.0% vs 0.8%).
Less Common Adverse Reactions
Adverse reactions reported in at least 2% and less than 3% of women in the MYFEMBREE group and greater incidence than placebo included irritability, dyspepsia, and breast cyst. Other important adverse reactions reported in women treated with MYFEMBREE included one serious reaction each of uterine myoma expulsion (0.4%) and uterine leiomyoma (prolapse) (0.4%).
The adverse reactions most commonly reported in the extension trial, Study L3, were similar to those in the placebo-controlled trials.
Bone Loss
The effect of MYFEMBREE on BMD was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The least squares mean percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at Month 6 in Studies L1 and L2 is presented in Table 2.
Table 2: Mean Percent Change (On-Treatment) from Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD in Women with Uterine Fibroids at Month 6 in Studies L1 and L2 | Studies L1 and L2 Treatment Month 6 |
|---|
| Placebo | MYFEMBREE |
|---|
| Number of Subjects | 256 | 254 |
| Percent Change from Baseline | 0.18 | -0.23 |
| (95% CI Confidence Interval ) | (-0.21, 0.58) | (-0.64, 0.18) |
| Treatment Difference, % | -0.42 |
In the open-label extension Study L3, continued bone loss was observed with 12 months of continuous treatment with MYFEMBREE. The least squares mean percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at Month 6 and Month 12 for women treated with MYFEMBREE in Studies L1 or L2 and then continued on MYFEMBREE for an additional 28 weeks in Study L3 is presented in Table 3, below.
Table 3: Mean Percent Change (On-Treatment) from Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD at Month 6 in Studies 1 and 2 and Month 12 in Study 3 in Women with Uterine Fibroids treated with MYFEMBREE | Study L3 (N = 163) |
|---|
| Month 6 Baseline and Month 6 assessments include only those participants from Studies L1 and L2 who participated in Study L3. | Month 12 |
|---|
| Percent Change from Baseline | -0.23 | -0.80 |
| (95% CI CI = confidence interval. ) | (-0.69, 0.24) | (-1.36, -0.25) |
A separate concurrent prospective observational study enrolled 262 women with uterine fibroids who were age-matched to participants of Studies L1 and L2. These women did not receive treatment for uterine fibroids and underwent DXA scans at Month 6 and Month 12 to monitor for changes in BMD. Mean percent change from baseline (95% CI) in BMD at the lumbar spine at Month 6 and Month 12 was 0.00 (-0.32, 0.31) and -0.41 (-0.77, -0.05), respectively.
A decline in lumbar spine BMD of > 3% was observed in 23% (30/132) of women who had a DXA scan following 12 months of MYFEMBREE treatment in Study L3 and in 17.4% (37/213) of untreated women in the Observational Cohort. A decline of > 8% was seen in 1% (1/132) of women treated with MYFEMBREE who completed a DXA scan at Month 12 and in 0.9% (2/213) of untreated women in the Observational Cohort.
In Studies L1, L2, and L3, 0.6% (4/634) women treated with MYFEMBREE experienced low trauma fractures (defined as a fall from standing height or less). Two of these women were treated with relugolix monotherapy for 12 weeks prior to MYFEMBREE therapy.
Depression, Mood Disorders, and Suicidal Ideation
In the Phase 3, placebo-controlled trials (Studies L1 and L2), MYFEMBREE was associated with adverse mood changes. A greater proportion of women treated with MYFEMBREE compared to placebo reported depression (including depression, mood swings, and depressed mood) (2.4% vs. 0.8%), irritability (2.4% vs. 0%), and anxiety (1.2% vs. 0.8%).
Suicidal ideation was reported for women treated with MYFEMBREE in placebo-controlled clinical trials conducted for a different indication.
Resumption of Menstruation after Discontinuation
Post study menstrual status was available for 35 women in Study L1 and 30 women in Study L2 who were treated with MYFEMBREE and prematurely discontinued the study or did not continue into the long-term extension study. For these women, 100% (35/35) in Study L1 and 93.3% (28/30) in Study L2 resumed menses. The mean time from last dose to occurrence of menses was 36 days in Study L1 and 30.7 days in Study L2. Mean time to occurrence of menses was longer for women who achieved amenorrhea (40.6 days and 41.1 days in Studies L1 and L2, respectively) compared with women without amenorrhea (33.0 days and 26.6 days in Studies L1 and L2, respectively) in the last 35 days of treatment. After 12 months of treatment with MYFEMBREE (Study L1 or Study L2, then Study L3) 93.8% (61/65) of women resumed menses. Mean time from last dose of drug to occurrence of menses was 40.5 days. Mean time to occurrence of menses was longer in women who reported amenorrhea over the last 35 days of treatment compared with women without amenorrhea over the last 35 days of treatment (45.6 days vs. 32.6 days, respectively).
Women who did not have a return to menses included those who had surgery, used alternative medications associated with amenorrhea, entered menopause, and unknown cause.
Increases in Lipids
Lipid levels were assessed at baseline and Week 24/End of Treatment in Study L1 and Study L2. Of the women with normal total cholesterol (< 200 mg/dL) at baseline, increases to > 200-240 mg/dL were seen in 13.7% of women treated with MYFEMBREE as compared to 7.7% of women treated with placebo, and increases to > 240 mg/dL were seen in 1.7% and 0.6% of MYFEMBREE and placebo-treated women respectively. For women with LDL < 130 mg/dL at baseline, increases to 130 to < 160 mg/dL, 160 to < 190 mg/dL and ≥ 190 mg/dL were seen in 9.3%, 1.5%, and 0.5% of women treated with MYFEMBREE as compared to 6.5%, 0.5% and 0% of women treated with placebo, respectively.
P-gp Inhibitors
Co-administration of MYFEMBREE with P-gp inhibitors increases the AUC and maximum concentration (Cmax) 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 Cmax 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.
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 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). A NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 100 mg/kg/day (34 times the MRHD).
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of relugolix or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Relugolix was detected in milk in lactating rats [see Data]. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk.
Detectable amounts of estrogen and progestin have been identified in the breast milk of women receiving estrogen plus progestin therapy and can reduce milk production in breast-feeding women. This reduction can occur at any time but is less likely to occur once breast-feeding is well established.
The developmental and health benefits of breast-feeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for MYFEMBREE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from MYFEMBREE or from the underlying maternal condition.
Data
Animal Data
In lactating rats administered a single oral dose of 30 mg/kg radiolabeled relugolix on post-partum day 14, relugolix and/or its metabolites were present in milk at concentrations up to 10-fold higher than in plasma at 2 hours post-dose.
Pregnancy Testing
MYFEMBREE may delay the ability to recognize pregnancy because it may reduce the intensity, duration, and amount of menstrual bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]. Exclude pregnancy before initiating treatment with MYFEMBREE. Perform pregnancy testing if pregnancy is suspected during treatment with MYFEMBREE and discontinue treatment if pregnancy is confirmed [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
Contraception
Advise women of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with MYFEMBREE and for 1 week following discontinuation. Avoid concomitant use of hormonal contraceptives with MYFEMBREE. The use of estrogen-containing hormonal contraceptives may increase the risk of estrogen-associated adverse events and is expected to decrease the efficacy of MYFEMBREE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
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.
Absorption
The mean (%CV) absolute bioavailability of relugolix is 12 (62%).
Effect of Food
The AUC0-inf and Cmax of relugolix decreased by 38% and 55%, respectively, after administration of MYFEMBREE following consumption of a high-fat, high-calorie meal (i.e., 800-1000 calorie meal in which 50% of calories are derived from fat) compared with the fasted state; however, the decrease in exposure to relugolix is considered not to be clinically meaningful. No clinically meaningful effects of food on the exposure to estradiol or norethindrone were observed.
Distribution
Plasma protein binding of relugolix is 68% to 71%, primarily to albumin and to a lesser extent to α1-acid glycoprotein. The mean blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.78. Estradiol circulates in the blood bound to SHBG (36% to 37%) and to albumin (61%), while only approximately 1% to 2% is unbound. Norethindrone also binds to a similar extent to SHBG (36%) and to albumin (61%).
Elimination
After administration of a single dose of MYFEMBREE, the mean (SD) terminal phase elimination half-life (t1/2) of relugolix, estradiol, and norethindrone are 61.5 (13.2) hours, 16.6 (7.7) hours, and 10.9 (3.1) hours, respectively.
Metabolism
Relugolix is metabolized primarily by CYP3A and to a lesser extent by CYP2C8 in vitro.
Estradiol is converted reversibly to estrone, and both can be converted to estriol, which is a major urinary metabolite. Estrogens also undergo enterohepatic recirculation due to sulfate and glucuronide conjugation in the liver, biliary secretion of conjugates into the intestine, and hydrolysis in the intestine followed by reabsorption.
Norethindrone undergoes extensive biotransformation, primarily by reduction, in addition to sulfation, glucuronidation, and oxidation, respectively, by sulfotransferases (SULTs), glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), and CYP enzymes, including CYP3A4. The majority of metabolites in the circulation are sulfates, with glucuronides accounting for most of the urinary metabolites.
Excretion
After oral administration of a single 80 mg radiolabeled dose of relugolix, approximately 81% of the radioactivity was recovered in feces (4.2% as unchanged) and 4.1% in urine (2.2% as unchanged).
Estradiol is excreted in the urine as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. Norethindrone is primarily excreted in urine as various polar metabolites.
Specific Populations
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of relugolix were observed based on age (19 to 53 years), race/ethnicity (Asian [49%], White [24%], Black/African American [24%]), body weight (38 to 144 kg), mild to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 15 to 89 mL/min, as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation), or mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A or B). The effects of severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) or end-stage renal disease with or without hemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics of relugolix have not been studied.
The effects of renal or hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of estradiol or norethindrone have not been studied. However, estradiol blood concentrations are expected to be increased in patients with hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function.
Drug Interaction Studies
Clinical Studies
- Combined P-gp and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitor: Co-administration with erythromycin (P-gp and moderate CYP3A inhibitor) increased the AUC and Cmax of relugolix by 6.2-fold.
- Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A Inducer: Co-administration with rifampin (P-gp and strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the AUC and Cmax of relugolix by 55% and 23%, respectively.
- Other Drugs: No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of relugolix were observed when co-administered with voriconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor), fluconazole (moderate CYP3A inhibitor), or atorvastatin (weak CYP3A inhibitor). No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) or rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) were observed upon co-administration with relugolix.
In Vitro Studies
- Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Relugolix is a substrate of CYP3A and CYP2C8. Relugolix is an inducer of CYP3A and CYP2B6, but not an inducer of CYP1A2. Relugolix is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4.
- Transporter Systems: Relugolix is a substrate of P-gp, but not a substrate of BCRP. Relugolix is an inhibitor of BCRP and P-gp, but not an inhibitor of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, MATE2-K, or BSEP.
Carcinogenesis
Relugolix
Two-year carcinogenicity studies were conducted in mice at oral relugolix doses up to 100 mg/kg/day and in rats at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day. Relugolix was not carcinogenic in mice or rats at exposures up to approximately 142 or 423 times, respectively, the exposure in human females at the MRHD of 40 mg daily, based on AUC.
E2/NETA
Long-term continuous administration of natural and synthetic estrogens in certain animal species increases the frequency of carcinomas of the breast, uterus, cervix, vagina, testis, and liver.
Mutagenesis
Relugolix was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay or clastogenic in the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in Chinese hamster lung cells or the in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.
Impairment of Fertility
In a fertility study in rats, no effect on female fertility was observed at up to 1000 mg/kg/day (300 times the MRHD of 40 mg daily in women). In rats, the binding affinity of relugolix for GnRH receptors is greater than 1000-fold less than in humans, and this study represents an assessment of non-pharmacological targets of relugolix.
In human GnRH-receptor knock-in mice, administration of relugolix at oral doses of 100 mg/kg and above twice daily to female mice induced a constant diestrous phase and decreased ovarian and uterine weights, effects which were reversible following cessation of treatment. In male knock-in mice, oral administration of relugolix decreased prostate and seminal vesicle weights at doses 3 mg/kg and above twice daily for 28 days, effects which were reversible, except for testis weight, which did not fully recover within 28 days after drug withdrawal.
In a 39-week toxicology study in monkeys, a decrease in the frequency of menses was observed in female monkeys at 50 mg/kg/day (99 times the MRHD of 40 mg daily in women, based on AUC), which was partially reversed following a 13-week recovery period. There were no significant effects on male reproductive organs at oral relugolix doses up to 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 53 times the human exposure at a dose of 120 mg daily in men, based on AUC).
Menstrual Blood Loss
In both Study L1 and Study L2, a statistically higher proportion of women treated with MYFEMBREE achieved the primary endpoint of both an MBL volume of less than 80 mL and at least a 50% reduction from baseline in MBL volume over the last 35 days of treatment compared with placebo (Table 5).

Amenorrhea
In Studies L1 and L2, 50.0% and 50.4% of women treated with MYFEMBREE, respectively, achieved amenorrhea compared to 6.2% and 3.1% treated with placebo, respectively, over the last 35 days of treatment.
Percent Change in MBL Volume
The mean MBL volumes in Studies L1 and L2 at baseline were 243.8 mL and 246.7 mL in the MYFEMBREE group and 223.2 mL and 211.8 mL in the placebo group, respectively. The mean reduction in MBL volume from baseline to Week 24 in the MYFEMBREE group was 82.0% in Study L1 and 84.3% in Study L2, compared with placebo which was 19.1% and 15.1%, respectively.
Reductions in MBL volume for MYFEMBREE and placebo groups are depicted in Figure 1.

Hemoglobin Levels
For efficacy, a hemoglobin response was defined as a hemoglobin increase > 2 g/dL from baseline to Week 24 in the subgroup of women with anemia at baseline (hemoglobin ≤ 10.5 g/dL). A statistically higher proportion treated with MYFEMBREE compared with placebo had > 2 g/dL improvement in hemoglobin levels, see Table 6.

Thromboembolic Disorders and Vascular Events
Advise patients that use of estrogen and progestin combinations may increase the risk of venous and arterial thrombotic/thromboembolic events, especially in women at high risk for these events [see Boxed Warning, Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Bone Loss
Advise patients about the risk of bone loss. Advise patients that supplementary calcium and vitamin D may be beneficial if dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D is not adequate. Advise women that oral iron supplementation should not be taken at the same time as calcium and vitamin D [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Depression, Mood Disorders, and Suicidal Ideation
Advise patients that depression, mood disorders, and suicidal ideation may occur with MYFEMBREE use. Instruct women with new onset or worsening depression, anxiety, or other mood changes to promptly seek medical attention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Hepatic Impairment and Transaminase Elevations
Advise women to promptly seek medical attention in case of signs or symptoms that may reflect liver injury, such as jaundice [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
Change in Menstrual Bleeding Pattern and Reduced Ability to Recognize Pregnancy
Advise patients that MYFEMBREE may delay the recognition of pregnancy because it may reduce the duration and amount of menstrual bleeding. Advise patients to use effective non-hormonal contraception while taking MYFEMBREE and to discontinue MYFEMBREE if pregnancy is diagnosed [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]. Advise pregnant patients that there is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to MYFEMBREE during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Alopecia
Advise women that alopecia, hair loss, and hair thinning in no specific pattern may occur with MYFEMBREE. Advise women that hair loss and hair thinning may not resolve completely after stopping MYFEMBREE. Advise women to contact their healthcare provider if they have concerns about changes to their hair [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Females of Reproductive Potential
Advise women to use effective non-hormonal contraception while taking MYFEMBREE and for one week after discontinuing treatment and to discontinue MYFEMBREE if pregnancy is confirmed. Advise pregnant patients that there is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to MYFEMBREE during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Drug Interactions
Advise women to report their use of any other prescription or nonprescription medications or dietary supplements. Co-administration with certain drugs may decrease the therapeutic effects of MYFEMBREE [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Administration Instructions
- Advise women to begin taking MYFEMBREE as soon as possible after the start of menses but no later than 7 days after menses has started [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
- Advise women to take any missed dose of MYFEMBREE as soon as possible the same day and then resume regular dosing the next day at the usual time [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
- Advise women taking oral P-gp inhibitors to take MYFEMBREE first and separate dosing by at least 6 hours [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
