A member asked:
Can general anesthesia, vicodin or naproxen affect birth control? (mini pill)
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
They shouldn't: None of those should interfere with the minipill. However, the minipill is a Progesterone only pill and tends to be pretty sensitive. You have to take it at the same time every day and stress can effect it. If you are worried, use a back up method like condoms for a couple of days.

Probably not: Ther is no evidence indicating that anesthesia or the medications you have listed would interfere with birth control pills.

No: The medications used should have no effect on the actions of the mini-pill.
