Question
Hi I am currently taking yaz birth control pill. I also just started taking
damiana for my low libido and then I realized I should try to find out if it
will stop my birth control from working? So how does damiana interact
with birth control pills?

Answer
Dear Michelle,

I looked online but could not find any authoritive information about the connection. Perhaps you should consider another form of birth control because probably the yaz is affecting your hormones and then you are taking the damiana to combat that.

Instead, think about another form of birth control if needed. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more about this and anything else you need advice about.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
