Birth Control And Over the Counter Medication Posted: 06-17-07 15:15pm


I know that over the counter medications like Tylenol and Advil are not suppose to affect the pill, but I am more concerned about the slight effects of taking them together or within a similar proximity. During my first week on Aleese (with no prior experience with birth control) I took Reactine to help my allergy symptoms. About 2 hours later i took my pill. However roughly 6hours later, I was turning white and literally on the verge of blacking out at work. Later on, I tried taking the Reactine after I took my pill, and I'm completely fine. Although the Reactine seems to be not as affective as before. Right now I've been sick, on and off, for the last week and am dying to get rid of this cold so I'm tempted to take some Tylenol Cold. But I'm concerned because it's Extra Strength and for someone of my size, it makes me a little dizzy just taking that alone (had done so before starting the pill). I'm just worried that with taking the Tylenol, the effects may really hurt me this time. Chinese herbal medicine may possibly affect the pill.... so I'm really sitting on a cliff here. Any inputs?
