Question 1

will rescue remedy interact with birth control?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: I had to look it up, and their website doesn't seem to list the ingredients. I think it is a combination of herbs. It shouldn't have any effect on birth control.

Question 2

can pin-x interact with birth control?

Accepted Answer

I checked several: different oral contraceptives for interactions with pin-x using a drug interaction checker. Found no interactions. However, to ensure accuracy - provide the NAME of the oral contraceptive in question.

Question 3

does turmeric interact with birth control?

Accepted Answer

Turmeric: Do not know which oral contraceptive you use. However, I used a drug/ food interaction checker inputting several different oral Contraceptive and found no significant interactions.

Question 4

could celexa (citalopram) interact with birth control?

Accepted Answer

No interaction: Citalopram is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Citalopram is used to treat depression.
Escitalopram (=Celexa) and birth control pills have no known interactions -and no known way they could interact at least according to a very large medicine -interaction data base and the manufacturer's data. On the other hand a lot of other medications may affect birth control pills, for example some antiepileptics like carbamazepine (Tegretol) and phenytoin (Dilantin), so Lamictal is by far not the only one.

Question 5

does passion flower interact with birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Passion flower &amp; BC: There is no clinical data for passion flower and birth control. Passion flower, when used for short term (less than 2 months) should be possibly safe. Do not use passion flower if you are pregnant/breastfeeding or pre-surgery or post-surgery.

Question 6

great diet pills that don't interact with birth control?

Accepted Answer

Diet &amp; Exercise: As you might imagine, most physicians don't recommend diet pills.  There are prescription diet pills and they should be given under a physicians supervision.  OTC diet pills are not safe and I don't recommend them.  In terms of interactions, you'd have to state the name of pill and the name of your birth control to answer effectively

Question 7

does organic spirulina or chlorella interfere or interact with birth control? some studies recommend that women on bc take spirulina. is it ok?

Accepted Answer

No interference, OK: Spirulina and Chlorella are good sources of many nutrients and are not known to have any adverse interactions with Oral Contraceptives (OC's).
OC's can increase our bodies needs for B vitamins as well as Vit. C, E and minerals like zinc. While spirulina and chlorella can supply these (which is why they are recommended) I advise taking a quality 
multivit. as well. See http://tinyurl.com/jcqozg2

Question 8

what medications could interact with birth control? are there any medications i should be sure to not take while also on birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Several: While on birth control, you should always ask your pharmacist about any possible interactions, even with over the counter or natural medications.  Antibiotics, for example can decrease the efficacy of the birth control, so you should always use condoms when on antibiotics and birth control, to be extra safe.  Good luck.

Question 9

does garcinia cambogia with green coffe extract interact with birth control?

Accepted Answer

No: This does not interact with birth control. There is also no good evidence that it actually does anything helpful for your health.

Question 10

can flaxseed or ground flaxseed  or any food interact with birth control pill?

Accepted Answer

Food: It is very unlikely for flax-seed or any food to have an effect on birth control when you are taking pills. Is the flax-seed something new for you and is not bothering you? Relax and enjoy.
