A member asked:

Can taking 1 herbal sleeping pill containing 1 mg melatonin a day decrease the effect of yaz birth control pill? i would take them 5-6h apart.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Melatonin can decrease the effectiveness of BCP's, you should consult with the provider of the BCP's for a sleep aid. Keeping a regular sleep schedule can help . It would be ok to use magnesium with BCP-I recommend 400-500mg of magnesium citrate or gluconate(mg oxide or carbonate are not that absorbable ) about 30min before bed is often very helpful.
