Question
Hello,

Does taking Damiana affect taking
the contraceptive pill Marvelon?

Thank you

Answer
Hi Susan,

I am no herbal expert, but after doing a little research I have not found any sources saying that Damiana should not be taken when you are on the birth control pill.

I think you should ask some of the herbalists on AllExperts before you start taking Damiana: http://www.allexperts.com/getExpert.asp?Category=3224

Hope this helps!

I know quite a lot about all birth control methods available. I can help you decide what kind of birth control may be most suitable for you.

Experience

I myself have tried the pill, the sponge, comdoms and am now practicing the fertility awareness method. I can answer questions on all birth control methods available. I cannot answer questions on any medical conditions as birth control is my area of expertise.
