A member asked:

Can i take birth control pills if i had herpes zoster ophthalmicus 6 months ago? will it make come back if i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take the pills: There is no relationship between birth control pills and the onset of H. zoster in any part of the body. If you are sexually active and need the protection of the pill, go ahead use it.
