Question 1

would plexus slim interact with my birth control pills ?

Accepted Answer

Not known for sure: Plexus slim has several products, and since they are not medications approved by the fda, plexus slim products are probably not tested for interactions and side effects like real medicines are. So, that means nobody really knows what side effects there are. If an plexus slim user hears of some interaction or thinks she is getting a side effect, she can visit her primary care doctor.
