Elagolix, estradiol, and norethisterone are combined in an oral contraceptive and hormone therapy regimen, often studied for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain and/or uterine fibroids. Elagolix is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist, estradiol is a form of estrogen, and norethisterone (also known as norethindrone) is a progestin. The combination is used to modulate hormonal balance, reduce bone loss risk, and mitigate hypoestrogenic symptoms in women taking elagolix.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adult women (average age 18-49), based on published monograph pharmacokinetics of the individual components, as there are currently no comprehensive published human PK models for the fixed-dose combination.
