From a pharmaceutical point of view, the combination of Zafrilla and the dietary supplement Fertistim should not lead to interactions, but pharmacologically it may not be justified. Zafrilla is used to treat endometriosis - it contains a hormone called a progest called dienogest. While using Zafrilla, the chance of getting pregnant is reduced because Zafrilla can affect ovulation. Fertistim is intended mainly for patients trying to conceive or preparing for pregnancy, especially in situations where fertility requires support. The ingredients of the Fertistim dietary supplement are supposed to contribute to the "regulation of hormonal activity", but there is nothing to regulate when you take a synthetic sex hormone. Myo-inositol - one of the components of Fertistim - has a "beneficial effect on egg maturation and ovulation". Here again - you can not expect the effects of this action on ovulation, since Zafrilla acts the opposite. Fertistim also contains other ingredients: calcium L-methylfolate, vitamin D, zinc and selenium. Supplementation of these ingredients may be beneficial to health, especially folates are desirable at the stage of pregnancy planning. As I mentioned, the available data show that most patients are ovulated during treatment with Zafrilla. However, Zafrilla is not a contraceptive. If you suffer from endometriosis but are planning to become pregnant, it is best to talk to your gynecologist about it. He will also indicate the appropriate supplementation for you.
