Relatively few: The issue with various medications, mostly antibiotics and some anti-seizure medications, is that the effectiveness of the pill or the medications is decreased. The interactions in and of themselves are not harmful.

What age should you be before you take levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed?

Oral bcp ?: If you are still having menstrual periods, taking Levlen will lessen "pre-menstrual syndrome" and regulate your menses. Levlen has far less estrogen in it than your ovaries now make , and with Levlen, your ovaries are stopped from making estrogen. Ask your gyn provider to discuss oral bcp to make sure you are a candidate.

Can i take levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ED and duromine 40 together?

Yes: There are no reported interactions between these two medications. Good birth control is essential when taking duromine because of the potential negative effects it could have on the baby.
