A member asked:
Does peppermint oil change the effects of birth control pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Peppermint oil interacts with a good number of medications that are metabolized by the liver. Birth control pills are metabolized by the liver; so it's likely there is an interaction although i could not find a definitive reference stating what effect the oil would have on bcp's. Your gynecologist may have more information.
