A member asked:
Does any over the counter gas relief medication affect birth control pills?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Potentially. : Over the counter medications are not subjected to the testing that prescription medications are. Therefore, I can only answer by saying that there is a potential that any over-the-counter medication can affect birth control pills.
