Question
Hi, I recently purchased Elexia For Women Maximum Sensitivity Formula and I was wanting to know if it will interfere with my birth control pills. I will even give you the ingredients : black cohosh, zyziphi fructus, soy isoflavones, Siberian ginseng, damiana, L-arginine, horny goat weed, ginkgo biloba, cellulose, maltodextrin, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, cellulose film coating. Okay I have researched all of these until I am tired of researching. But, I can not afford any children right now, so I just didnt take it. But please let me know if you find anything out. I would love to know a definite answer.
Thanks,
Courtney Merworth

Answer
Dear Courtney,

It's great that you are wise enough to look into reactions with your birth control. However, I unfortunately cannot answer your question because I do not have a medical background.

I would recommend you contact the Facts of Life Line, they are great at answering all kinds of sexual health questions and they have nurses to help with medical questions. Their email is fol@optbc.org  Also, you could check out their website at www.optionsforsexualhealth.org for general sexuality information.

Good luck,
AM
