Hi! I’m starting on Yaz and take 50 mg of Zoloft a day.

Will the Zoloft decrease the effectiveness of my pill? Planned Parenthood says no, but there’s tons of conflicting info out there. Thank you.

Hi Iloves,

Zoloft is not one of the substances known to decrease the effectiveness of the pill. You can read more about which medications are, and are not, likely to influence the pill in this article: Something You Can Worry About Less: Interference and Hormonal Birth Control. If you're still concerned, you can also call your pharmacist and ask them if there are any issues to be aware of when taking those two medications together.
