Does fo-ti root affect amethia birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly but...: We have more to learn about such interactions. Amethia is metabolized in part by the CYP3A4 enzyme & drugs that stimulate this enzyme may reduce effectiveness, but Fo-Ti seems to inhibit this enzyme so Fo-Ti may increase the levels of Amethia in your body- but this is theoretical and no one knows for sure. But the effect on levels is probably mild. See http://tinyurl.com/mlc2526
