Could i take other medications when i am on the birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often, yes: Some medications are very safe to take, like tylenol (acetaminophen) and motrin. Others, especially prescription antibiotics , may weaken the protection birth control pills give you from getting pregnant. Make sure you talk to your doctor when you are prescribed a medication.
