Interactions between your drugs
ethinyl estradiol paritaprevir
Applies to: Ortho Evra (ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin) and Technivie (ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir)
Using ethinyl estradiol together with paritaprevir is not recommended. Products containing ethinyl estradiol, mestranol, or estetrol may increase the risk of liver problems associated with the use of paritaprevir. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, light colored stools, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage. You may resume using ethinyl estradiol two weeks after completing paritaprevir. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

You may need an alternative or additional method of birth control during and for at least two weeks after treatment with ritonavir in order to avoid an unintended pregnancy. Let your doctor know if you experience bleeding outside of your menstrual cycle, since it may indicate reduced effectiveness of ethinyl estradiol.
