I'm 99.9% sure that I've read somewhere that St. John's Wort makes the pill less, or even non-effective. I remember, because I instantly looked through the ingredients lists on the natural remedies I was taking ;)
While we're on the subject, does anyone know if taking vitamin B supplements has any effect on the pill? I have enough anxiety without worrying about getting pregnant too! lol
Yes Rackel.,,
It does have an interation .
They both get absorbed through the same channels in the body and thus potentailly knock each others effectiveness out .
I had a continual bleed for 6 weeks before I figured out what was wrong.
Don't risk it .
Vit B is totally safe.
