RYEQO comprises 40mg relugolix, 1mg estradiol and 0.5mg norethisterone acetate. 

Relugolix reduces the amount of oestrogen produced by the ovaries; estradiol, an oestrogen, cuts bone loss risk; and norethisterone acetate, a progestin, is vital when women with a uterus receive oestrogen.

The latest development comes after the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use provided a positive opinion in September 2023 on the approval of RYEQO.
