Are There Any Drug Interactions Between Birth Control Pills And Iron Pills?
Question: do iron pills interfere with XXXXXXX birth control? will it still work fine to prevent pregnancy
Brief Answer:
No interaction between iron and birth control pills
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for using HCM,
XXXXXXX birth control pills do not interfere with any kind of Iron pills.
The birth control pills will work the same to prevent pregnancy, and iron will be absorbed the same too.
Iron is a medicine difficult to get absorbed though, so take is as suggested by your doctor, with an empty stomach.
Hope the information is helpful.
Let me know if you have further question.
Take care,
