This might be a silly question, but better safe than sorry. does using an inhaler affect the effectiveness of birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not effect: Using an inhaler does not affect how birth control pills work or it's effectiveness. No studies have shown any decrease in effectiveness with birth control with chronic use of any inhalers.
