A member asked:
Can you be allergic to birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Birth control pills contain hormones that are very similar to hormones produced by your own body - you won't make allergic antibodies to your own hormones. However, symptoms can result from adverse reactions to these hormones, even if you're not truly allergic to them. Discuss your symptoms with your gynecologist.
