Drospirenone and Estradiol

Angeliq

Angeliq is a medication used to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. It combines two hormones, estradiol (a form of estrogen) and drospirenone (a progestin), to relieve these symptoms. It comes in tablet form, with recommended dosages depending on the severity of symptoms. While effective, Angeliq carries potential side effects, including mood changes and the risk of more serious conditions like blood clots. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential. You may need to get a prescription from your doctor to buy Angeliq online from Canada.

Product Overview

Angeliq is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medication designed to alleviate symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. It contains two active ingredients: estradiol, a form of estrogen, and drospirenone, a progestin. The combination helps to manage menopausal symptoms effectively by replenishing the hormones that decline during this life stage. 

Angeliq is available as a tablet, with two strengths: one containing 0.25 mg of drospirenone and 0.5 mg of estradiol, and another with 0.5 mg of drospirenone and 1 mg of estradiol. The medication is taken daily without breaks, and it may be started at any time, especially for those switching from other hormone therapies. However, it’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider to ensure its suitability. 

While Angeliq can help manage menopausal symptoms, it comes with potential side effects such as mood changes, nausea, and headaches. Long-term use may increase the risks of blood clots, stroke, and breast cancer. Regular doctor check-ups are advised to monitor progress and adjust the treatment as necessary. You need to get a prescription from your doctor before you order Angeliq tablets online, as it is a prescription-based medication.

How to Take Angeliq Tablets?

When using Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy, you should carefully read & follow the instructions for use in the patient information leaflet and medication guide. Here are some of the instructions that you may follow to take Angeliq properly:

• Angeliq should be taken continuously without breaks.
• If you are new to estrogen treatments or are currently using a continuous hormone combination product, you can start Angeliq at any time.
• If you are switching from a hormone therapy that includes breaks or cycles of different hormones, complete your current hormone cycle before beginning Angeliq.
• If you are using Angeliq primarily for dryness in the vulvar and vaginal area, consider topical treatments applied directly to the area as an alternative.
• The dosage of Angeliq varies for different patients. Always follow your doctor’s instructions or the directions on the prescription label. The details provided here are average dosages; do not alter your dose unless advised by your doctor.
• The amount of medicine you take depends on its strength.
• The number of doses per day, the time between doses, and the duration of treatment depend on the medical condition being treated.

• Take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain an even level in your blood.
• Angeliq may increase the risk of conditions that could lead to uterine cancer. Your doctor may prescribe progestin to help lower this risk. Immediately report any unusual vaginal bleeding.
• If you need major surgery or will be on long-term bed rest, you might need to stop using this medicine temporarily. Make sure any doctor or surgeon treating you knows you are taking Angeliq.
• Regularly check your progress with your doctor to decide if you should continue using Angeliq. Perform self-exams of your breasts for lumps monthly and get regular mammograms.

[Note: Your doctor will decide the right amount for you based on your condition, following guidelines and studies on the drug. They’ll adjust it as needed over time.]

How Does Angeliq Work?

Angeliq is used to alleviate symptoms of menopause. It helps reduce hot flashes, which are episodes of flushing and sweating in the upper body and face. Additionally, it addresses dryness, itching, and burning sensations around the vagina. These symptoms arise when a woman’s body produces less estrogen than usual. Angeliq contains two types of hormones: an estrogen (estradiol) and a progestin (drospirenone). Progestin is included in estrogen replacement therapies to decrease the risk of uterine cancer. Women who have had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) do not require progestin and should not use this combination medication. If treatment is needed solely for vaginal symptoms of menopause, consider using products applied directly inside the vagina before trying oral medications, skin-absorbed treatments, or injections.

What Are the Important Safety Information for Using Angeliq?

What Are the Side Effects of Angeliq Hormone Replacement?

Common Angeliq Side Effects: Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy, like many medications, may cause some common side effects, especially when you first start using it.

• Breakthrough Bleeding: Some people may experience unexpected bleeding between periods. This is especially common when starting a new hormonal medication like Angeliq.
• Nausea: Feeling nauseous or queasy is another potential side effect. It might be temporary, but if it doesn’t go away or gets worse, you should check with your doctor.

Are There Any Warnings for Angeliq?

Here are the major warnings for this medication. So, before you order Angeliq tablets or start using it, consult your doctor about the benefits and risks related to it:

• Do not use Angeliq if you have any of the following conditions: liver disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, a bleeding disorder, kidney disease, coronary artery disease, an adrenal gland disorder, if you are planning to have major surgery, if you have had your uterus removed (hysterectomy), or if you have ever had a heart stroke, attack, or cancer of the breast, blood clot, uterus/cervix, or vagina.
• Angeliq should not be taken if you are pregnant. Using Angeliq may raise your probability of developing a condition that could lead to uterine cancer. It’s important to report any unusual vaginal bleeding immediately.
• Taking Angeliq can also increase your risk of blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, and cancers of the breast, uterus, or ovaries. Angeliq should not be used as a preventive measure against stroke, heart disease, or dementia.

What Is the Black Box Warning on Angeliq?

A boxed warning has been issued by the FDA for Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy due to certain risks associated with its use. The key points of the boxed warning are as follows:

• Cardiovascular Risks and Dementia: Using combined estrogen and progestogen therapy increases the risk of heart-related issues such as strokes and blood clots, as well as a type of lung clot called pulmonary embolism. This therapy also raises the risk of heart attacks in postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 79. Additionally, it may increase the likelihood of developing probable dementia in women aged 65 and older. This therapy should not be used to prevent cardiovascular diseases or dementia. This therapy is not suitable for preventing cardiovascular diseases or dementia. Discuss the individual benefits and risks with your patient before starting treatment.
• Breast Cancer: There is an increased risk of invasive breast cancer with the use of combined estrogen and progestogen therapy. Estrogen plus progestogen therapy should be prescribed at the lowest effective doses and for the shortest time that aligns with treatment goals and personal health risks.
• Endometrial Cancer: Using estrogen alone can increase the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer) in women who still have a uterus. To lower this risk, a progestogen can be added to the therapy. Any postmenopausal woman experiencing unusual or recurring bleeding should be evaluated for endometrial cancer.
• Estrogen-alone Therapy: It may also increase the risks of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in veins) in postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 79. Similar to combined therapy, there is an increased risk of probable dementia in women aged 65 and older using estrogen alone. This therapy should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases or dementia.

These therapies have specific uses and come with significant risks. It is crucial to weigh the benefits against the risks and consider the individual’s health profile before prescribing these medications. Always aim to use the minimal effective dose for the shortest possible time.

What Are the Precautions for Angeliq?

When considering treatment with Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy, patients should discuss every risk and benefit with their medical practitioner. Here are some of the precautions that you can take before using Angeliq:

• Your doctor should monitor your health regularly, every 3 to 6 months, to determine whether you should continue using this medication. Unless your doctor advises otherwise, you may need a pelvic exam, breast exam, and mammogram (breast X-ray) to check for any side effects. Make sure to keep all your appointments.
• Although it is rare for a postmenopausal woman to become pregnant, it is crucial to know that taking this medication during pregnancy can harm your unborn baby. If you suspect you might be pregnant while on this medication, inform your doctor immediately.
• This medication can increase your risk of developing blood clots, strokes, or heart attacks, and this risk may persist even after you stop taking it. Your risk is higher if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, are overweight, or smoke. If you experience confusion, double vision, difficulty speaking, chest pain, headaches, or any loss of movement in your legs, arms, or facial muscles, contact your doctor right away.
• Using this medication over a long period may raise your risk of cancers such as endometrial, breast, or uterine cancer. Discuss these risks with your doctor. You should not use this medication if you have undergone a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). If you notice any unusual vaginal bleeding, contact your doctor right away.
• There is also an increased risk of developing dementia when using this medication, particularly in women who are 65 years old or older.
• Additionally, this medication may heighten your risk of gallbladder disease. If you experience stomach pains, nausea, or vomiting, it’s important to inform your doctor immediately.
• Before undergoing any type of surgery, including those that might involve a long period of inactivity or emergency treatment, inform your doctor or dentist that you are taking this medication. Your doctor will determine if you should continue using this medicine. It may also influence the results of some medical tests.
• If you experience a severe headache, sudden loss of vision, or any other changes in vision while on this medication, contact your doctor immediately. You may be referred to an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) for further examination.
• While taking this medicine, be cautious about your alcohol consumption and try to limit it.

Other Precautions Linked to Special Population

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reactions to this medication or any other medications. Also, disclose any other allergies you may have, including those to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For over-the-counter products, carefully read the label or package ingredients.
• Pediatric Use: Studies have not been conducted to determine the effects of drospirenone and estradiol combination in children. This medication is not recommended for use in the pediatric population.
• Geriatric Use: No specific studies have been done on the effects of drospirenone and estradiol in older adults. However, elderly patients may be at increased risk of developing conditions like breast cancer, stroke, or dementia, which could necessitate caution when using this medication.
• Breastfeeding: There is insufficient research to determine the risk to an infant when this medication is used during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the risks before deciding to take this medication while breastfeeding.

What Are the Contraindications for Angeliq?

If you are using Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy, it is important to understand that this medication is contraindicated in patients who have:

• Keep it at room temperature, away from heat and moisture (avoid storing it in the bathroom).
• Do not flush the medication down the toilet.
• Dispose of unneeded medications through a medicine take-back program. Contact your pharmacist or local waste/recycling department for details about take-back programs in your area.

[Note: Discuss with your healthcare professional about the proper disposal of any unused medicine and any questions you may have regarding its storage.]

Are There Any Drug Interactions with Angeliq?

When taking Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy, it’s important to be aware of how other medications might interact with it, as these interactions can either make the medication less effective or increase the risk of side effects. Here’s how some of the key drug interactions work:

• Aromatase Inhibitors (such as Anastrozole, Exemestane): These are used to treat breast cancer. When combined with Angeliq, they may reduce its effectiveness because they can interfere with how hormones like estrogen work in the body.
• Atazanavir/Cobicistat (HIV medications): This combination of HIV medications can alter how Angeliq is processed in your body. It might affect the levels of Angeliq and increase side effects or reduce its effectiveness.
• Corticosteroids (such as Prednisone): Corticosteroids like prednisone are used for inflammation. When taken with Angeliq, their effects can be increased, possibly leading to more intense side effects like weight gain or fluid retention.
• Fezolinetant: This drug is used for specific health conditions and could interfere with how Angeliq works. The interaction might affect hormone balance and treatment effectiveness.
• Ospemifene: Used for postmenopausal symptoms, Ospemifene can interact with Angeliq, potentially affecting its function in the body.
• Raloxifene and Tamoxifen (Breast cancer medications): Both are used for breast cancer or osteoporosis. When used with Angeliq, they may not work as well, as they also affect estrogen, the key hormone in Angeliq.
• Tizanidine (Muscle Relaxant): This drug can interact with Angeliq and alter how it works in the body, possibly making the muscle relaxant less effective or increasing side effects.
• Tranexamic Acid (For excessive bleeding): This drug may interfere with how Angeliq works in controlling bleeding, possibly reducing its effectiveness in treating bleeding.
• Warfarin (Blood thinner): Warfarin can become more potent when taken with Angeliq, increasing the risk of bleeding. Your doctor may need to adjust your warfarin dose.
• Potassium Concerns (such as Aliskiren, NSAIDs like Naproxen, Ibuprofen): Angeliq contains drospirenone, which can increase potassium levels in the blood. Certain medications, like Aliskiren, NSAIDs, and potassium-sparing diuretics (such as Spironolactone), can further increase potassium levels, which can be dangerous.
• Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (such as Valsartan, Losartan) and ACE Inhibitors (such as Lisinopril, Enalapril): These medications are used to control blood pressure. When combined with Angeliq, they may increase the risk of side effects like high potassium levels or kidney problems.
• Heparin (Blood thinner): Heparin may interact with Angeliq, affecting how blood clots, and may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising.
• Seizure Medications (such as Phenytoin, Carbamazepine): These drugs can decrease the effectiveness of Angeliq by increasing how quickly estrogen is broken down in your body.
• Azole Antifungals (such as Itraconazole): These antifungal medications can increase the amount of Angeliq in your body, potentially leading to more side effects.
• Rifamycins (such as Rifabutin) and Macrolide Antibiotics (such as Erythromycin): These medications can either decrease the effectiveness of Angeliq or cause unwanted side effects by altering hormone metabolism.
• St. John’s Wort: This herbal supplement is known to decrease the effectiveness of Angeliq by making the body break down estrogen faster, which can reduce the benefits of the medication.

What Are the Other Interactions with Angeliq?

There are several other factors beyond medications that can affect how the drug works. These include certain foods, beverages, herbal remedies, and lifestyle choices. Here’s how they can impact your treatment:

• Alcohol: Drinking alcohol while using Angeliq can increase the risk of side effects, such as dizziness, headaches, and an increased risk of blood clotting. Alcohol can also affect liver function, which may interfere with how Angeliq is processed in your body.
• Tobacco (Smoking): Smoking is known to lower the effectiveness of estrogen-based treatments like Angeliq. This can make the medication less effective in managing symptoms of menopause or other conditions. Smoking also increases the risk of blood clots, which is a potential side effect of hormone therapy.
• Grapefruit: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with the metabolism of certain medications, including Angeliq. It can affect the enzymes in the liver that help process the medication, potentially increasing its levels in the body and leading to an increased risk of side effects.
• Caffeine: While caffeine does not have a major interaction with Angeliq, it’s best to consume it in moderation. Excessive caffeine intake may lead to side effects like jitteriness or trouble sleeping, which could be more noticeable while on Angeliq due to its effects on the body’s hormone balance.
• Herbal Remedies and Supplements: Some herbal supplements and remedies can interfere with Angeliq, either reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. For example:
  • St. John’s Wort can lower the levels of estrogen in the body, making Angeliq less effective.
  • Soy-based products (which contain phytoestrogens) may affect the estrogen balance and interfere with the intended effects of Angeliq. Always inform your doctor if you are using any herbal products or supplements, as they could interact with your medication.
• High-Fat Meals: Eating high-fat meals can affect how the body absorbs the hormones in Angeliq. While this is not typically a major issue, maintaining a balanced diet can help ensure the medication works as effectively as possible.
• Exercise: Regular physical activity is generally beneficial while on hormone therapy, but intense physical activity can sometimes affect your body’s metabolism, which might impact how Angeliq works. Consult with your doctor about any changes to your exercise routine.
• Dietary Changes: While there’s no specific diet required when taking Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy, it’s important to maintain a balanced, healthy diet. A well-rounded diet can help you manage any potential side effects of hormone therapy, such as weight gain or bloating, and improve your overall health.

[Note: This isn’t a complete list, and there could be other drugs that interact with Angeliq. Make sure to tell your doctor any prescription, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal products you’re taking.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Angeliq HRT cause weight gain?

Weight gain is a rare side effect reported by some people using Angeliq (drospirenone / estradiol), but it’s not clear whether the weight gain is caused by the medication itself or by other factors such as diet or lifestyle.

How much estrogen is in Angeliq?

Each Angeliq tablet contains 1 mg of estradiol, a form of estrogen, along with 0.5 mg of drospirenone, a type of progesterone-like hormone.

Will I get a period on Angeliq?

You might experience irregular bleeding, especially in the first 6 months of using Angeliq. However, over time, most women find that bleeding decreases or stops altogether after continued use.

What is the half-life of Angeliq?

The hormone drospirenone (DRSP) in Angeliq has a half-life of about 36 to 42 hours, meaning it takes that long for half of the hormone to leave your system. It takes around 10 days for drospirenone to be mostly excreted from the body, with slightly more being excreted through feces than urine.

Can I just stop taking Angeliq?

You should not stop taking Angeliq suddenly, as doing so could cause your symptoms to worsen or lead to unwanted side effects. If you want to stop, it’s important to consult with your doctor to discuss how to do so safely and if alternative treatments may be needed.

When is the best time to take Angeliq?

You can take Angeliq for hormone replacement therapy with or without food. If you experience nausea, a common side effect, taking it with food may help. To achieve the best results, it’s important to take this medication at the same time every day for consistent hormonal levels.

Can you lose belly fat on HRT?

Yes, it’s possible to lose belly fat while on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Many women find that HRT helps them lose weight by restoring their metabolism to a state similar to before menopause. However, progesterone in HRT can sometimes lead to fluid retention, which might look like weight gain. Adjustments to the treatment plan can be made to reduce this effect.

How do you avoid weight gain on HRT?

To avoid weight gain while on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), there are several strategies you can use. First, focusing on balancing your hormones is key. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy diet can boost your metabolism, helping your body burn fat more effectively. Additionally, managing stress is important because stress can lead to the release of cortisol, a hormone that can contribute to weight gain.

What are the benefits of taking Angeliq?

Angeliq, for hormone replacement therapy, combines two medicines: drospirenone and estradiol. Estradiol, a form of estrogen, replenishes the estrogen that your body stops producing during menopause. This helps alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and dryness in the vaginal area. Drospirenone, a type of progestin, safeguards the uterus and aids in reducing the risk of uterine cancer.
