A member asked:

Does prednisone affect the birth control pill, levora (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Not aware of: No such interaction I know of. However since prednisone is often used as a semi-emergency measure (for asthma, lupus exacerbation etc), the nature of the illness itself may impact the effectiveness of BCP but this effect would be difficult to measure.
