ETHINYL ESTRADIOL (in Yasmin 28 Tablets) may interact with GRAPEFRUIT JUICE
Grapefruit juice may block the breakdown of ethinyl estradiol by the liver. If this happens, blood levels of ethinyl estradiol could be increased and this could cause an increase in side effects. Side effects that can potentially occur with the use of ethinyl estradiol include headache, weight gain, and stomach irritation. More severe side effects may include an increase in blood pressure and the formation of blood clots. Because information about this potential interaction is limited, the safety of taking ethinyl estradiol with grapefruit juice or nutritional supplements that contain grapefruit juice is not known.You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.
This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.
