Brief Answer:
there is some interaction between nitrofurantoin and orthocyclen
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
nitrofurantoin may reduce the effectiveness of orthocyclen. If she's using it as birth control then she should be cautious because orthocyclen may not exert its full potential when used concurrently with nitrofurantoin. No other concerns though.
Kind Regards!
