A member asked:
Do cortisone shots mess up birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Cortisone (or any steroid) can interfere with hormonal forms of birth control, though this does not always happen. If you are strongly concerned, remember that the shots will not interfere with a barrier method such as a condom.
