What does Lynestrenol interact with?
Orgametril can interact with other medicines that affect its hormonal activity or metabolism.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Enzyme‑inducing anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine): may reduce contraceptive efficacy. - Rifampicin: can lower plasma concentrations of Lynestrenol. - Certain antifungal azoles (e.g., ketoconazole): may increase Lynestrenol levels and risk of side effects.
