When I first started on the pill, my
doctor told me that there are some drugs
and medicines that can make it not as
effective. At that point, I wasn't
thinking to ask him, but I am on the
release diet. Can that affect the
effectiveness of the pill? If someone has
any answers, I would greatly appreciate
them.
Thanks

Anti biotics, saint johns wort, and some
anti seizure meds will decrease the
effectiveness of the pill. Long term
diahhreah, vommitung will also do the
same.

So I am ok to continue with my diet pills?
Should I ask my doctor just in case?

Your doctor will most likely say what any
other doc will say, all diet pills are not
good. Only health exercise and eating
right will do it..He'll probably advise
you to stop using them..But they would not
hamper your birth control unless it
contained saint johns wort.
