You should also use nonhormonal contraceptives such as condoms or use other forms of hormonal birth control during treatment with JOURNAVX and for 28 days after you stop taking JOURNAVX
  • medicines that are substrates of the CYP3A enzyme as they may become less effective during treatment with JOURNAVX. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust the dose of your medicine when starting or stopping JOURNAVX
