Hi, can birth control pills interact with any foods? I ate alot of fiber one cereal right after I took the pill and was wondering if that could potentially interact with the pill? I read somewhere that fiber can affect the absorbency of the pill.Please clarify this for me and if any other foods that may potentially interact. Im confused on this topic. Thanks!

The very best person to ask with questions about your pill (or any medication) is the pharmacist.

But, no: the pill does not interact with food.
