Quick Q.

Unread post by aj2234 »

Hi guys! Just a quick question. I recently bought myself some rose tea. It's literally just rose buds that you steep in water and apparently they're high in vitamin c. Before I drink it, I just wanted to check if this would interact with the pill at all. Or any herbal tea for that matter. Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, the only herb you need to watch out for with hormonal birth control is St. John's wort. But, it never hurts to double check with a pharmacist, as they're the people who will have the most up to date information on drug interactions.
