A member asked:
Wanted help in knowing what birth control is best with being on steroid injections for bad asthma ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not problematic: Interaction between birth control pills and glucocortico steroids is not problematic. Actually they are all part of the steroid family but with vastly different effects. I wonder why you are on injections rather than oral.
