Question
i'm on these acne pills && i've heard that they can stop both of them from working like they cancel each other out....&& i don't want my parents to find out about birth control...so do u have any adives as what to do?
Hi Cayla,
Some medications can make pills less effective, so what you need to do is go to the Dr., or clinic that gave you the perscription for birth control, take your medication and check with them. Or, do an internet search for birth control+the name of your medication, and if there is an interaction, the search will bring it up.
Good Luck and Thanks,
Drea Jean
