Does loperamide / immodium affect birth control? i sometimes have to take them and i would like to know if it reduces its effectiveness against pregnancy

No worries: there are no interactions between loperamide(Imodium) and oral contraceptives. There will be no decrease in effectiveness of your oral contraceptives. Good luck.
