A member asked:
I took antacid containing mentha oil and spearmint oil, 40 mins before taking bc pill (diane 35) will the effectiveness of the bc pill be compromised?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Is such a situation, there should be no noticeable difference in the effectiveness of the birth control pill. If a woman takes her birth control pill each day, near the same time of day, she should be well protected against pregnancy.
