A member asked:

Will any of my prescription medications interfere with my birth cont. pill? i take lexapro, (escitalopram) amytriptiline, ativan and prilosec daily at night.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharmacist knows: Since you didn't specify which one you're on then, it will be necessary for you to either Google that question on a website that does medication interactions or just call your pharmacist and tell them which OCP you're on.
