“…In one study (6), oral ritonavir resulted in statistically significant decreases in ethinyl E 2 levels from a single dose of a contraceptive pill. In another study (7), oral nevirapine significantly reduced both ethinyl E 2 and norethindrone levels. No studies have evaluated clinical outcomes such as pregnancy, though one study did not find evidence that use of hormonal contraceptives strongly affected responses to ARV therapy (8).…”

“…Previously nevirapine was shown to decrease the AUC of EE and NE by 29% and 18%, respectively [68]. Stuart and colleagues reported conflicting findings when they found the highest concentrations of both EE and norgestrel in patients taking nevirapine vs. those not taking cART.…”

“…Studies of interactions between oral contraceptives and ART have shown decreased levels of estrogen by 29% for some nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as nevirapine (Mildvan et al, 2002), but 22% to 37% increased estrogen levels with others (i.e., efavirenz, etravirine; DHHS, 2009). Interactions between oral contraceptives and PIs (without boosted ritonavir) are also varied.…”
