Lizonya Drug Interactions

Taking other medicine: Always tell the doctor who has prescribed the Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya) about the medication or herbal preparations the patient are taking. Also tell any other doctor or dentist that has prescribed other medication (or a pharmacist) that the patient is taking Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya). They may tell that the patient needs to use additional contraceptives (condoms for example) and if they do, they will tell how long for.
Some medicine can cause Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya) to lose its contraceptive effect, or can cause unexpected bleeding. This applies to medicines used to treat epilepsy (Primidone, Phenytoin, barbiturates, Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine) and tuberculosis (for example: Rifampicin), HIV (Ritonavir), other infectious diseases (Griseofulvin, Ampicillin, tetracyclines) and the medicinal herb St. John's wort.
If the patient wants to use herbal preparations which contain St. John's wort while they are taking Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya), they should consult a doctor beforehand.
Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya) can affect other medicines, for example, those which contain Ciclosporin or the anticonvulsant drug Lamotrigine (this can increase the frequency of convulsions).
Please tell a doctor or pharmacist if the patient is taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
Taking Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya) with food and drink: Take a Drospirenone + Ethinylestradiol (Lizonya) tablet every day, with some water if needed. The patient can take the tablets with or without food, but they should take them approximately at the same time very day.
Clinical tests: If the patient needs a blood analysis, tell the doctor or laboratory staff that they are taking a contraceptive, as oral contraceptives can affect the results of some tests.
