A member asked:

Is it okay to take pau d'arco and birth control pills at the same time? (specifically microgynon 30)

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

No problem: Pau d'Arco is a supplement rather than a drug and shouldn't have any effect on your birth control. Make sure you take your birth control at the same time everyday and don't skip any pills.
