Frequently asked questions
What's the most important Lady Era interaction to know? ▾
For most Women's Sexual Health medications, the highest-priority interaction is with nitrate medications used for chest pain — this combination is often a hard contraindication. After that, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (some antifungals, macrolides) are the next concern at routine 100mg doses.
Do I need to tell the pharmacist about supplements? ▾
Yes. Supplements and herbal products can interact with Lady Era in ways that prescription drug-drug interaction databases miss. The pharmacist needs the complete picture — including supplements like St John's Wort, grapefruit-containing products and high-dose vitamins — to flag risks at 100mg.
