A member asked:
Will prednisone lessen the effectiveness of my birth control? i take vestura (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) (yaz) & am currently prescribed 10mg prednisone tablets for virus symptom

No, it won't : However if in doubt that any drug would interfere with birth control effectiveness of the pills you are on, use an extra method like a barrier while using the other medication. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, not only for birth control effectiveness, but also for other possible problematic interactions, best wishes
