Q: i am currently on the depo injection and have only gotten my first injection...i plan on drinking a chinese detox tea everyday, will this reduce the effectiveness of my injection in preventing pregnancy?

: It probably will not affect it, but there are not studies of any Chinese detox teas, to tell if it well affect it or not. There also are not any studies that show the Chinese detox teas do any good at all. Although it is unlikely, there is no way to know if you are affecting your birth control in a negative manner. Good luck.
