Potential Interaction
Efavirenz (EFV)
Estradiol
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration with estradiol as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has not been studied. Estradiol is metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and is glucuronidated. Efavirenz, an inducer of CYP3A4, could potentially decrease estradiol exposure. Monitor for signs of estrogen deficiency. When estradiol was administered as part of feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) to 20 HIV-infected transgender women receiving efavirenz and emtricitabine/tenofovir-DF, estradiol AUC, Cmax and C24 decreased by 28%, 19% and 36%, respectively, and there was no significant change in efavirenz pharmacokinetics.
