Lusia F description
Generally refers to the 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position. Lusia F-17-beta is the most potent form of mammalian estrogenic steroids. In humans, it is produced primarily by the cyclic ovaries and the placenta. It is also produced by the adipose tissue of men and postmenopausal women. The 17-alpha-isomer of estradiol binds weakly to estrogen receptors (receptors, estrogen) and exhibits little estrogenic activity in estrogen-responsive tissues. Various isomers can be synthesized.

Lusia F interactions
Concurrent use with hepatic enzyme inducers e.g. barbiturates, primidone, phenobarbitone, phenytoin, phenylbutazone, rifampicin, carbamazepine and griseofulvin may affect contraceptive efficacy. Short courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics may also reduce the efficacy of the oral contraceptive. Concurrent use with HIV protease and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors may affect hepatic metabolism of gestodene and/or Lusia F. May increase plasma concentrations of ciclosporin and decrease the serum levels of lamotrigine. Concurrent use with felbamate may increase the clearance of gestodene. Gestodene may increase serum levels of buprenorphine. Co-trimoxazole, miconazole and etoricoxib may increase serum levels of Lusia F. Aprepitant, modafinil and bosentan may reduce the serum levels of Lusia F. Metabolism of omeprazole may be inhibited by Lusia F. GI absorption of Lusia F may be increased by concurrent admin of paracetamol.
Food Interaction
Concurrent treatment with St John’s wort may reduce efficacy of the oral contraceptive.
