Genitourinary: Menstruation (dose-dependent; reduction in the amount, intensity, or duration of menstrual bleeding)
Postmarketing: Hypersensitivity: Anaphylaxis, angioedema, hypersensitivity reaction
Hypersensitivity to elagolix or any component of the formulation; pregnancy; known osteoporosis; severe hepatic impairment (Child-Turcotte-Pugh class C); concomitant use of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 that are known or expected to significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations.
Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in US labeling): Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Bleeding irregularities: Menstrual bleeding patterns may change, causing a decrease in the amount, intensity, or duration of bleeding. Changes in bleeding patterns may alter the ability to detect pregnancy. Conduct pregnancy testing if pregnancy is suspected; discontinue use if pregnancy is confirmed.
• BMD loss: A dose-dependent decrease in BMD is associated with elagolix exposure. The risk of BMD loss is increased with duration of use and may not be completely reversible following discontinuation of elagolix. Evaluate patients for osteoporosis risk factors (including a history of low-trauma fracture) prior to therapy. Consider supplementation with calcium and vitamin D. Limit duration of treatment to prevent BMD loss.
• Depression: Elagolix may increase the risk of depression and mood changes; risk may be increased in patients with a history of suicidality or depression. Suicidal ideation/behavior has been reported. Promptly evaluate new or worsening psychiatric symptoms and refer to a mental health care professional if appropriate. Patients should seek immediate medical attention for suicidal ideation and behavior. Consider risks and benefits of therapy if mood disturbances occur.
• Hepatic impairment: Dose-dependent elevations of ALT ≥3 times the upper limit of normal may occur; use the lowest effective dose. Promptly evaluate elevations in transaminases to assess risks versus benefits of continuing therapy. Dose adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment; do not use in severe hepatic impairment.

Evaluate pregnancy status prior to use. Exclude pregnancy prior to treatment or start elagolix within 7 days from the onset of menses. Treatment with elagolix may reduce the amount, intensity, or duration of menstrual bleeding, which may make it more difficult to recognize pregnancy. Perform pregnancy testing if pregnancy is suspected during elagolix therapy.
Ovulation is not fully suppressed during elagolix therapy (Taylor 2017). Use of hormonal contraception may be associated with increased adverse events, decreased contraceptive efficacy, or decreased efficacy of elagolix; consult drug interactions database for more detailed information related to elagolix and specific contraceptives. Nonhormonal contraceptives should be used during therapy and for 28 days after elagolix treatment is discontinued.
Outcome data related to inadvertent exposure in pregnancy are limited. Elagolix may increase the risk of early pregnancy loss. Discontinue elagolix if pregnancy occurs during treatment. Use of elagolix is contraindicated during pregnancy.
Data collection to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes following exposure to elagolix is ongoing. Health care providers are encouraged to enroll patients exposed to elagolix during pregnancy in the pregnancy registry (833-782-7241 or www.bloompregnancyregistry.com). Patients may also enroll themselves.
It is not known if elagolix is present in breast milk.
According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother.
Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
Pregnancy status prior to therapy; pregnancy test during therapy (if pregnancy is suspected); liver function tests; monitor mental status (for signs/symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation); consider BMD after 12 months (Surrey 2018)
Elagolix is a short-acting, nonpeptide, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist that suppresses pituitary and ovarian hormone function in a dose-dependent manner. Concentrations of LH, FSH, and estradiol are decreased during therapy and rapidly return to previous levels once treatment is discontinued. In patients with endometriosis, these actions reduce dysmenorrhea and nonmenstrual pelvic pain (Ng 2017; Struthers 2009; Taylor 2017).
Note: The pharmacokinetics of elagolix are not influenced by BMI.
Onset: FSH, LH, and estradiol suppression: Within hours of day 1 (initial) administration (Ng 2017)
Duration: FSH, LH, and estradiol concentrations return to baseline or higher within 24 to 48 hours after discontinuation (Ng 2017)
Absorption: Rapid (Ng 2017)
Protein binding: 80%; to human plasma proteins
Metabolism: Hepatic via CYP3A (major pathway) and CYP2D6, CYP2C8, and UGTs
Half-life elimination: Terminal: 4 to 6 hours
Time to peak: 1 hour
Excretion: Feces 90%; urine <3%
Hepatic function impairment: Exposure of elagolix is increased by ~3-fold in patients with moderate hepatic impairment and by ~7-fold in patients with severe hepatic impairment (compared to patients with normal hepatic function).
