I am on the pill and recently started using natural herb vitamins. Can vitamins affect the pill?

It depends upon which herbs your vitamins contain.  Most herbs will not affect your birth control; however, there are a few that can decrease the pill’s effectiveness.  It’s a great idea to call your physician to discuss the specific ingredients of your vitamin. If you can’t get a hold of your doctor, consider speaking to someone at a local pharmacy.  It’s important to make sure your birth control is working correctly, consistently, and all the time—way to be on top of it!
