Question 1

any birth control and allergy medication interactions?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Birth control pills, in my experience, often make people sick. We know little or nothing about drug interactions, plus the fact that most drugs only relieve symptoms if they work at all. I often see patients who are taking 4 or 5 drugs together and it is impossible to sort out their interactions.

Question 2

will loratadine allergy medicine affect my birth control effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

No: Antihistamines don't interact with birth hormonal control.

Question 3

can allegra/allergy medications affect my birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

No: Allergy medications do not affect birth control pills.

Question 4

i've never had serious allergies until this season. i just started a different birth control dosage. could there be a correlation?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: But if you have been living in an area suffering from prolonged drought until this year, it may well be the newly available watering from the rain which have allowed the plants to thrive this season.  On the other hand, you may just have become sensitized regardless.  No, I don't believe BCP has anything to do with it

Question 5

what birth control can i get for my self ?i'm a men i'm not allergy to anything i don't know which birth control is the best ? which one can i use?

Accepted Answer

Condoms: You can find condoms at many sites. You may need to try a variety since they come in differing sizes and materials. It should fit snug when you are aroused (not slip) and be applied before any intercourse &amp; not removed until you are finished. They should not be re-used. The best will be the one you find comfortable &amp; will use properly every time.

Question 6

will a allergy relief pill or an off brand of benedril affect my birth control shot? (depo) please help!!

Accepted Answer

No:  usually some antibiotics would, better ask whenever you use any other medicines while on hormonal contraception, if in doubt, use an extra method for birth control while using the other medicine, such as a barrier, good that you asked, and always exercise caution with multiple medications,

Question 7

is it possible for me to take an allergy pill with birth control?

Accepted Answer

Yes: if you mean birth control pills and allergy medicines, yes can be taken together

Question 8

my sister is getting a iud birth control, she has a gluten allergy which is the safest brand for her to get?

Accepted Answer

Any: Gluten allergy is not an issue with IUD selection. She should follow the advice of her physician as regards a specific one.

Question 9

is it possible to get pregnant if you have a semen allergy? when i was on birth control my boyfriend would cum in me and it would burn like crazy !

Accepted Answer

Yes: The condition though rare can be bypassed by the expensive alternative, in vitro fertilization. This is where sperm is added to an egg in the lab &amp; the conception injected into the womb after all remnants of sperm are washed away. I would 1st want to get confirmation of the process because the symptoms may overlap with other treatable issues, or be controlled by simple treatments.

Question 10

will taking benadryl (diphenhydramine) allergy when on birth control null the active ingredients in the birth control?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no interaction between Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and birth control tablets, unless Benadryl (diphenhydramine) makes you too sleepy and you forget to take the birth control tablets...
