Ethinyl estradiol/norelgestromin and voriconazole

Ethinyl estradiol/norelgestromin's FDA label of April 16, 2026 names voriconazole in its drug interactions section; the voriconazole labels PlainMeds reads (3) do not name ethinyl estradiol/norelgestromin. The ethinyl estradiol/norelgestromin label: “CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, grapefruit juice, or ketoconazole may increase plasma hormone concentrations.”
