Estrogen therapy may change how your body handles other drugs
NCT ID NCT05469204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how gender-affirming estrogen therapy changes the way the body processes other medications. Twenty-two transgender adults who were not yet on estrogen took part. Researchers measured how two common drugs (midazolam and digoxin) were handled before and after starting estrogen. The goal was to understand potential drug interactions and improve safe prescribing.
