Ethinyl Estradiol (CAS 57-63-6) is a potent synthetic estrogen with wide-ranging pharmaceutical applications, most notably in contraception and hormone therapy. While highly effective, its use necessitates a thorough understanding of its safety profile, including potential risks, contraindications, and interactions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes the importance of this knowledge for healthcare professionals and patients alike.

A primary concern with Ethinyl Estradiol use is the increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). This risk is dose-dependent and is further elevated by factors like smoking, obesity, and age. Consequently, certain individuals are advised against its use. Key ethinyl estradiol contraindications include a history of thrombosis, certain cardiovascular diseases, uncontrolled hypertension, liver tumors, and specific types of migraines with aura.

Understanding ethinyl estradiol drug interactions is critical. This compound is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, and certain medications, including some anticonvulsants (e.g., phenytoin), antibiotics (e.g., rifampicin), and antiretrovirals, can affect its metabolism, potentially reducing its efficacy or increasing side effects. Conversely, Ethinyl Estradiol can also influence the metabolism of other drugs. Patients should always disclose all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are using to their healthcare provider.

Ethinyl estradiol side effects can range from mild to severe. Common side effects include breast tenderness, nausea, headache, and fluid retention. More serious, though rarer, side effects can involve liver dysfunction, gallstones, and certain types of cancer. The long-term effects and ethinyl estradiol ecological impact are also areas of ongoing research, underscoring the need for responsible use and disposal.
