Ask:Will taking weight loss pills or other supplements cause my birth control pills not to work
2006-11-27 20:07:49I've seen the adds for things like TrimSpa, Hydroxycut, and other "nutritional supplements" on Beachbody, etc., and I was wondering if they had any kinds of effects on oral contraceptives that would cause the contraceptive not to work.

2006-11-27 20:10:57NO. I think the only herb/supplement that will make the pill ineffective is st. john' s wort. I don't remember why, but I know I read it on a medical site. Ivillage.com I think. I took hydroxycut for months while on the pill, and I didn't get pregnant.
