A member asked:

My husband is taking herb supplements. can they make birth control pill less effective in me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your husband's intake of herbs will not affect your birth control pill function. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
