Question for the ladies on the pill?

does it make you moody? other than antibiotics, what else can cause it to not work?


Answers:

I've been on the Pill for almost 15 years. It delivers a steady stream of hormones to my body, so I have little or no PMS symptoms and I'm not moody (well, no more than normal.)

Antibiotics can play a role in the effectiveness of the Pill as can any other prescriptions (though I've found if I ask my pharmacist they are quite knowledgeable on whether the particular medication I'm buying will interact). Its advisable to take the Pill at the same time each day. If you forget a Pill, take it as soon as you remember (I keep mine in my nightstand and take them right before I go to bed, since I go to bed at the same time each night.)

Also, I would steer away from any herbal medication or diet pills (especially those which haven't been tested by the FDA) since drug-interactions would be unknown.
