A member asked:

Will l-cysteine or nac affect my birth control pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drug interactions : Reviewed medical database and was unable to find any evidence of significant drug interactions between formulations of cysteine and birth control pills. Would recommend still to consult with prescribing physician as well.
