St. John's/BCPs: St. John's Wort induces the P450 mechanism and increases the clearance of many medications, of which oral contraceptives is one (may make your pills less effective). Although St. John's Wort is effective for mild depression, consultation with your doctor for alternatives or using a second form of birth control (condom) may be in order.
