Q: Do Slimming Pills Effect the Pill?!

I know this sounds bad but I recently have been taking slimming pills to help me kick start to lose a couple of pounds.

Ive been on the pill now (yasmine) for 2 months and I was wondering if you knew if slimming pills can effect the pill?

I know your boobs are supposed to get bigger on the pill, but this takes the buiscuit! (not that i'm complaining) ive gone up a full cup in the space of a week and they are very sore to touch (cant lie on my belly). Ive also been feeling a little 'icky' but I was putting that down to the slimming pills. Then one of my colleagues suggested that the slimming pill could effect the contraceptive pill.

Does any one know?

I Was On Yasmin

The slimming pills have no lower efficiency rate than any other pills. As far as your symptoms(breasts ect.) those should die down in a couple of months. You are just as protected on yasmin as any other type of birth control.
