A member asked:
Will my birth control be non-effective if i took tylenol (acetaminophen) 2 , 7 hours after the birth control? and also haven taken zopiclone for one night.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Neither of these drugs have been shown to inactivate birth control. That being said, no birth control is perfect. If you have missed a period, take a pregnancy test. Hope this helps!
