Natural mood boosting suppliment that doesn't mess with birth control. will a daily ginseng suppliment reduce effectiveness of the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud? what is a non-prescription mood booster that wont mess with the hormone in my iud?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There : There are no studies of women who take ginseng and have the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud in place. It is unlikely that ginseng would affect the effectiveness, but there are just no definitive studies on it.
