After a little research, I found out the following herbal supplements can affect the efficacy of bcp:
- Black cohosh
- Saw palmetto
- Red clover
- Vitex (the sites are very emphatic about this one!)
- Dong quai
- Wild yam (too bad, I have a good quality PC made of wild yam
)
I also find a valorous tip:
"Most people will take the oral contraceptive pill first thing in the morning or last thing at night to reduce any interactions with absorption and foods."
I think it's a good strategy taking your pills a long time before or after taking the bcp.
