Cranberry extract is compatible with birth
control pills. Nothing to worry about.
Although not all supplements are good to
use while on birth control pills. (i.E.
St. John's wort is known for reducing the
effectiveness of bc pills.)

Very true. Herbs/vitamins etc don't have
to be approved by the fda and therefore
don't have to state all ingredients or
side effects. So, for anyone on b/c
before taking anything ask a doc or
pharmacist or look up whether or not it
will reduce the effectiveness.
