Accepted Answer

Any dose may: Topiramate may interfere with absorption or affect metabolism of some bcps.  Discuss with your doctors.  For may seizure patients it is advised to consider iuds.

Question 5

i recently drank a large cup around 32 oz maybe bigger of hibiscus tea not thinking much of it. i then read it interferes with birth control. will it interfere with kurvelo? i drank it on my break week and just started a new pack the day after?

Accepted Answer

: Since you were not actually taking the pill when you drank the tea there is no chance that it will interfere with the Kurvelo now. The risk of interference is low in any case and it is much more important to take your pill regularly. As with many things, there are no good studies on this and the concerns are theoretical but not proven.

does st. john's wort interfere with birth control?

Accepted Answer

None significant: There is no significant interaction between st. John's wort (has similar properties to zoloft/paxil/prozac etc..) and contraceptive pills...And these combos have been in use safely. 
I am not sure why you are using st. John's wort, but i hope for right reason and that it is helping you. Make  sure you let your doc know about all meds/supplements you are using..Good luck.

Accepted Answer

: I do not think so. Take care.

Question 10

can lutein interfere with birth control?

Accepted Answer

Not well documented.: I am not aware of any good scientific evidence that proves that lutein interferes with birth control.  Moderation, as with most things, is wise until more information becomes available..  Consider limiting your daily dose to 6 mg per day unless advised otherwise by your personal physician.
