A member asked:
Can peridex mouthwash lower the effect of birth control pill? im on alysena 28.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Normal use of commonly sold mouthwashes should not have an effect on oral contraceptives (birth control pills). Peridex should not have an effect on birth control pills. Peridex contains chlorhexidine and is used for special circumstances such as in the treatment of gingivitis... but may have more potential side effects than other, milder mouthwashes.
