A member asked:
Im on mercilon birthcontrol pills and started to use usn garvinia cambogia pills for weightloss it make my birthcontrol less efective?

Unlikely: Garcinia works by absorbing water in the stomach thereby reducing available space for food/water and making you hungry. Birth control is dependent on absorption and that is often in the small intestine. If you take your birth control at least an hour prior to using Garcinia, then it is highly unlikely it would interfere.
