A member asked:

Can a body detox like "the cleaner" (women's formula) make my birth control pills less effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is no need: To use a cleanse process. It is a laxative that gives you diarrhea and if a lot could decease the absorption of the pill. No need to use a colon cleanse product. It is a waste of money.
