The mean (CV%) absolute bioavailability of Relugolix is approximately 12%. The median (range) Tmax of Relugolix is 2.25 hours.Effect of Food: No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of Relugolix were observed following consumption of a high-calorie, high-fat meal.Distribution: Plasma protein binding of Relugolix is 68 to 71%, primarily to albumin and to a lesser extent to α1- acid glycoprotein. The mean blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.78.Elimination: The mean effective half-life of Relugolix is 25 hours and the mean (CV %) terminal elimination half-life is 60.8 (11%) hours. The mean (CV %) total clearance of Relugolix is 29.4 (15%) L/h and the renal clearance is 8 L/h.Metabolism: Relugolix is metabolized primarily by CYP3A and to a lesser extent by CYP2C8 in vitro.Excretion: After oral administration of a single 80mg radiolabeled dose of Relugolix, approximately 81% of the radioactivity was recovered in feces (4.2% as unchanged) and 4.1% in urine (2.2% as unchanged).
A loading dose of 360 mg on the first day of treatment followed by 120 mg taken once daily, at approximately the same time each day. Relugolix Tablet can be taken with or without food.

P-gp Inhibitors: Avoid co-administration. If unavoidable, take Relugolix first, separate dosing by at least 6 hours, and monitor patients more frequently for adverse reactions. Combined P-gp andStrong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid co-administration. If unavoidable, increase the Relupros ® dose to 240 mg once daily.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) and laboratory abnormalities (≥15%) were hot flushes, glucose increased, triglycerides increased, musculoskeletal pain, haemoglobin decreased, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased, fatigue, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased, constipation, and diarrhea.Common Side Effects: Hot flushes, Increased blood sugar levels, Increased blood fat (triglyceride) levels, Muscle and joint pain, Decreased hemoglobin levels, Increased liver enzymes, Tiredness, Constipation, DiarrhoeaRare Side Effects: Relugolix may cause rare side effects, including Changes in the electrical activity of your heart (QT prolongation), Dizziness, Fainting, Feeling that your heart is pounding or racing (palpitations), Chest pain.
