Check w/ prescriber!: Prozac (fluoxetine), Pliva 333 (metronidazole), ritalin (methylphenidate) (a stimulant), and birth control are all commonly prescribed meds. Doses? Indications? Routes? Form of birth control? Always provide an updated list of ur meds to each of your docs/prescribers. Contact ur prescribers ASAP to learn about any possible drug-drug interactions! Use condoms until ur certain no interaction w BC. Be well!
