A member asked:
What are the effects of saw palmetto and birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less effective: "some birth control pills contain estrogen. Saw palmetto might decrease the effects of estrogen in the body. Taking saw palmetto along with birth control pills might decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. If you take birth control pills along with saw palmetto, use an additional form of birth control such as a condom." www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/971.Html.
