A member asked:
I am currently taking sylnd (drospirenone 4mg) as my birth control but my doctor prescribed me saxenda (liraglutide injection) for weight loss. will saxenda reduce the efficacy of the birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sylnd is a progestin hormone, and although not as effective as a combination oral contraceptive (estrogen/progestin), the effectiveness should not be diminished by Saxenda (liraglutide).
