A member asked:
Can prednisone 20 mg interfere with birth control (combination) low dose birth control? can it be the cause of spotting between periods since starting it? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Prednisone may interfere with birth control causing it to not be as effective in preventing pregnancy. Additionally the estrogen in the oral contraceptives may interfere with the steroid effectiveness. Talk to your Dr about using an alternate type of birth control should you need a course of steroids.
