After oral administration Levonorgestrel contained in Naphaceptiv is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of levonorgestrel is almost 100%. In serum levonorgestrel binds to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and to albumin.

4. Naphaceptiv drug interactions


Paracetamol is eliminated from the body faster in women taking oral contraceptives and pain relief may be reduced. Paracetamol also increases intestinal absorption of ethinylestradiol by about 20%. Ethinylestradiol may increase facial pigmentation caused by minocycline. Toxicity and effects of zidovudine may be enhanced when co-administered with Ethinylestradiol. May reduce the effect of imipramine but at the same time can cause toxicity due to imipramine. Rifampin reduces the sexual activity of estrogen when used concurrently, by making urinary liver enzymes difficult, leading to increased estrogen digestion. Ethinylestradiol may potentiate the anti-inflammatory effects of hydrocortisone by reducing hepatic corticosteroid metabolism and/or altering corticosteroid binding to serum proteins. Estrogen may decrease the effectiveness of oral anticoagulants. Liver enzyme stimulants such as barbiturates, phenytoin, primidone, phenobarbitone, rifampicin, carbamazepine, and griseofulvin may decrease the contraceptive effect of Levonorgestrel. For women who are taking medication for long-term liver enzyme disorders, an additional method of contraception must be used. Concomitant use with antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of the drug by interfering with the intestinal microflora.
