Q: Diet Pills - Birth Control

asked by: Poohybear on January 3rd, 2006

Are or have any of you been on birth control while taking diet pills?

I am contemplating on taking diet pills but I am not sure if it is a good thing and if it will interact with the birth control that I am on.

I am on the junel birth control. If anybody could give me some advice as to what they are on or some responses to my inquiry that would be great!

Thanks!

Hey, I actually just asked that question yesterday in the women's health forum and I got a reply saying it doesn't affect your b/c pills. And from what I can find on the internet theres nothing that suggets that they would affect them.

Hope this helps :)

Whoa guys - ask your doctor. Just because somebody posted something on a forum doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.

Just call your doctor and ask. Or even call your local pharmacy. Your doctor is the person to ask because he or she went to medical school.

You don't want to mess around with your birth control at all, and getting pregnant by accident just because you're trying to loose some weight is going to fire back (you usually gain like 50 pounds when you get pregnant anyways).

So just ask your doctor, the one who precribes your birth control.
