A member asked:

Are birth control pills still effective if a woman is also taking diet pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check with pharmacy: You do not indicate which bc pills or diet pills you are taking, but any friendly pharmacist will have drug interactions available on his computer and can advise you about potential interference. Suspect that there will not be any problem.
