Serotonin syndrome risk with concomitant serotonergic drugs (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs); can cause life-threatening arrhythmias in patients with coronary artery disease.
Risk of ectopic pregnancy: Rule out before treatment.,Pregnancy category X: Contraindicated in pregnancy due to fetal harm.,Endometrial changes: Chronic use may cause endometrial hyperplasia or thickening.,Liver enzymes: Monitor ALT/AST; discontinue if significant elevation.,Cushingoid effects: Prolonged use may lead to adrenal insufficiency.
Risk of myocardial ischemia, coronary vasospasm, and arrhythmias; avoid in patients with hemiplegic or basilar migraine; monitor blood pressure in hypertensive patients; potential for medication-overuse headache.
Known or suspected pregnancy.,Hypersensitivity to ulipristal acetate or any component.,Concurrent use of progestin-containing contraceptives.
History of coronary artery disease or stroke; uncontrolled hypertension; hemiplegic or basilar migraine; concurrent use of MAO inhibitors; peripheral vascular disease; severe hepatic impairment.
No known food interactions. Maintain usual diet.
Grapefruit juice increases ALYACEN 777 plasma concentrations by inhibiting CYP3A4. Avoid grapefruit products. High-fat meals may delay absorption but do not reduce total exposure.
First trimester: Increased risk of major congenital malformations, including neural tube defects and cardiovascular anomalies. Second/third trimesters: Risk of fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, and oligohydramnios.
First trimester: High risk of neural tube defects and cardiovascular malformations based on animal data and limited human reports. Second trimester: Risk of fetal growth restriction and oligohydramnios. Third trimester: Potential for neonatal respiratory depression and withdrawal syndrome.
Excretion into human milk unknown. M/P ratio not available. Potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants; decide whether to discontinue nursing or drug based on importance of drug to mother.
Contraindicated due to high excretion into breast milk (M/P ratio ~3.5). Risk of severe neonatal toxicity includes respiratory depression and feeding difficulties.
No dose adjustment recommended; however, pharmacokinetic changes in pregnancy may reduce exposure. Therapeutic drug monitoring advised to maintain efficacy and avoid toxicity.
No specific dose adjustment studied. Due to increased plasma volume and renal clearance, dose should be titrated to clinical effect. Consider lower starting doses due to narrow therapeutic index.
