Will Birth Control Pill Be Effective While Taking Senna Tea?
Hi, I drink senna tea every night because I have terrible constipation. I am starting birth control tomorrow, so will be on the pill. Will this counteract the birth control if I take the pill at night? Because it helps clean me out I am wondering whether the pill will even be effective!

Hello,
Senna tea will make the birth control pill less effective. It is best to avoid senna tea while on birth control.
Hope this answers your question
