Moringa may reduce the effectiveness of Progynova (estradiol). This could lead to your hormone replacement therapy or contraception not working as well as it should. Additionally, both substances are processed by the liver, which could theoretically affect how much of the medication stays in your bloodstream.

Why this happens
Moringa oleifera is thought to have 'antioestrogenic' properties, meaning it may block or interfere with the way oestrogen works in the body. It may also speed up the liver enzymes (specifically CYP3A4) that break down Progynova, causing the medicine to leave your body too quickly.
What you should do
You should consult your doctor before taking Moringa alongside Progynova. If you decide to use both, monitor for signs that your medication isn't working, such as a return of menopause symptoms or breakthrough bleeding.

Important precautions
Blood clots and stroke
This medicine significantly increases your risk of developing blood clots in the legs (DVT) or lungs (PE). Seek immediate medical help if you experience painful leg swelling, sudden chest pain, or breathlessness.
Breast and endometrial cancer
Long-term use can increase the risk of breast cancer and thickening of the womb lining. You must report any unexplained vaginal bleeding to your doctor immediately.
Food and drink warnings
Grapefruit juice
Grapefruit juice can increase the levels of estradiol in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects such as breast tenderness, nausea, or headaches. It is best to avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
Alcool
Drinking alcohol while taking oestrogen replacement therapy can lead to higher levels of estradiol in your blood than intended. This may increase the risk of side effects. It is advisable to keep your alcohol intake within recommended limits.

Patient picks for Drug interactions
Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Ashwagandha and Oestrogel pump-pack /actuation together?
Ashwagandha may increase the levels of oestrogen in your body, potentially making the effects of your Oestrogel stronger than intended. It might also interfere with how your body naturally balances hormones.
Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Clarithromycin and Rosuvastatin together?
Taking these two medicines together can significantly increase the amount of rosuvastatin in your blood. This increases the risk of serious muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis), which can lead to kidney problems. Symptoms to watch for include unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also feel generally unwell or have a fever.
