Question i have been taking microgynon 30 pills for a couple of months now and have recently been prescribed fluoxetine medication. is it safe to take it while im taking microgynon 30 as well?
Answer There have been no documented drug interactions or serious side effects reported due to taking birth control pills along with fluoxetine. It should be safe to take them together. If you do experience any unusual effects report them to your doctor as soon as possible, however this possibility seems very unlikely.
