Before taking ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines: • acetaminophen (Tylenol); • cyclosporine (Neoral, Gengraf, Sandimmune); • prednisolone (Orapred); • theophylline (Respbid, Theo-Dur); • St. John’s wort; • an antibiotic such as clarithromycin (Biaxin), erythromycin (E.E.S., E-Mycin, Ery-Tab, Erythrocin), itraconazole (Sporanox), or ketoconazole (Nizoral); • seizure medication such as carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol) or phenobarbital (Solfoton); • rifampin (Rifadin, Rifamate, Rimactane); or • HIV or AIDS medication such as ritonavir (Norvir, Kaletra). This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
