Hello, I have a question. I take birth control, I am not sure what kind but it is just a generic verison that I get from Kaiser. I just started taking a weight loss pill called Hydroxycut Clinical Pro today and am hearing it may affect my BC? Was wondering if this is true...
Herbal supplements can definitely have interaction with drugs thereby reducing the effect of other drugs. Hence, you should definitely have a back up method of contraception in order to prevent pregnancy.
