A member asked:
Will taking ibuprofen such as advil or tylenol (acetaminophen) affect depo provera? i am sick will that also affect my birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: There should be no significant interaction between pain relievers and birth control hormones, and being sick does not decrease birth control efficacy, as long as you are taking the dose as suggested.
