I was prescribed Prozac.
What time of day do I take it
Also is it safe to take with birth control pills are there any side effects
Brief Answer:
no known interactions
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The name of the oral contraceptive is not mentioned but in general there is no interaction between prozac and most oral contraceptives.
You can consider mentioning the name of the oral contraceptive in a follow up question.
The time of day that you use the medication does not matter once you use it consistently around the same time.
If you find that using it affects your sleep (difficulty sleeping), then you should use it in the morning.
If you find that it makes you sleeping, then you should take it in the evenings.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
