A member asked:
Can soy milk, licorice , or yams or any other type of food or bevarage make birth control less effective everywhere i read it's diff nd it scares me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: None of the items that you mentioned can affect the efficacy of birth control pills. The only antibiotic that can affect is Rifampin. There are a lot of wive's tales out there.... so beware. Most important is to take the birth control pill at the same time and not to miss a day.
