Consumer:

Compared to women with normal liver function, those with moderate hepatic impairment had approximately 3-fold higher elagolix exposures and those with severe hepatic impairment had approximately 7-fold higher elagolix exposures. Because of these increased exposures and risk for bone loss, the use of elagolix is contraindicated in women with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). In women with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) elagolix 150 mg is recommended once daily with the duration of treatment limited to 6 months. No dose adjustment is needed for women with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A).
