The birth control pills are a very popular form of contraception that many Nurx patients use every year. Pills are affordable, easy to tolerate, and there are so many different options to choose from. We can work with you to find the right fit, and can also help you learn about how birth control can help you treat other health issues like acne, hair growth, heavy periods, and irregular periods, just to name a few.

With so many people using birth control pills every day, it is quite common to wonder about potential interactions with other medications. Here is an overview of some of the things to think about when wondering if it is safe to take both a birth control pill and your other medications or supplements.

Key takeaways

  • Some medications can lower the effectiveness of birth control pills.. These include rifampin (used to treat tuberculosis), certain anti-seizure medications, and some HIV treatments. If you’re taking any of these, you may need to use an additional or alternative contraceptive method.
  • Most antibiotics and antidepressants are safe to take with birth control. Common medications like Lexapro®, Zoloft®, and Wellbutrin® don’t typically interfere with how hormonal birth control works.
  • Watch out for St. John’s Wort and other medications. This herbal supplement—as well as certain diabetes medications and medications that help regulate bile acid —can reduce how your body absorbs or processes birth control hormones.
  • Stomach issues and missed pills matter. Vomiting, diarrhea, or missing doses can affect how well your birth control works. Taking your pill consistently and on time helps ensure you’re protected.

How some medications can affect birth control 

Hormonal birth control works by steadily releasing estrogen and/or progestin to prevent pregnancy. These hormones stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and change the uterine lining. But some medications can interfere with how your body processes these hormones, which may make your birth control less effective.

Get birth control at home

Birth control from Nurx costs as little as $0 with insurance or $15 per month without insurance.

Here’s how interactions can happen:

  • Faster hormone breakdown: Some medications, like certain anti-seizure drugs or rifampin (used to treat tuberculosis), speed up how your liver processes hormones, reducing their levels in your bloodstream.
  • Reduced hormone absorption: Medications like St. John’s Wort or certain diabetes drugs may lower how much estrogen or progestin your body absorbs.
  • Changes to hormone levels: Some drugs affect how your body responds to or eliminates hormones, possibly lowering your birth control’s effectiveness.

It’s important to know:

 

  • Not all medications completely cancel out birth control, but some can lower its reliability.
  • The impact depends on the type of medication, dosage, and timing of both medications.
  • Your provider might recommend a backup method, like condoms, or suggest switching to a method that’s less affected by interactions (like an IUD or injection).

If you’re starting a new medication—or thinking about adding supplements—check in with your provider first. Nurx providers are here to help you find the safest, most effective option for your needs and make sure your birth control continues to work as expected.

Antibiotics

You may have heard that antibiotics can make birth control less effective—and at one time, that was widely believed. But today, we have more research to guide us. The truth is: most antibiotics don’t interfere with hormonal birth control.

For example, common antibiotics like:

…are not known to reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, the patch, or the ring. So if you’re using one of these medications, your birth control should still work as expected, as long as you’re taking it consistently and not vomiting or missing doses due to illness.

That said, there are a few less commonly used antibiotics that can impact how well birth control works:

 

  • Rifampin
  • Rifabutin
  • Rifapentine
  • Griseofulvin

These medications affect how your liver processes hormones, which can lead to lower levels of estrogen or progestin in your system, and that may reduce protection against pregnancy.

If you’re prescribed one of these medications, your healthcare provider should let you know and recommend using a backup method of contraception (like condoms) while you’re taking it and for a short time after.

Antifungal medications

Most antifungal medications won’t interfere with your birth control, but a few exceptions are worth knowing about.

Griseofulvin is the main antifungal known to reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. It works by speeding up how your body breaks down hormones, which can lower estrogen or progestin levels and make your birth control less reliable. This medication is rarely prescribed today, but if you do need it, it’s a good idea to use a backup method like condoms while you’re taking it.

Other antifungal medications—such as:

  • Ketoconazole
  • Itraconazole
  • Fluconazole
  • Voriconazole

—are commonly used to treat yeast infections, nail fungus, or systemic fungal infections. These are not known to significantly affect birth control pills, the patch, or the ring, and are generally considered safe to use together.

That said, some antifungals may still cause mild side effects or interact with other medications you’re taking, so it’s always a good idea to check in with your provider.

Antiretrovirals and HIV treatments

If you’re taking antiretroviral medications to manage HIV, it’s important to know how certain treatments might interact with hormonal birth control. While many HIV medications are safe to use alongside birth control, some can affect how well your birth control works, especially if it contains estrogen.

The group of medications known as protease inhibitors includes:

  • Ritonavir
  • Nelfinavir
  • Darunavir
  • Fosamprenavir
  • Lopinavir
  • Tipranavir

and can lower estrogen levels in the body. This may reduce the effectiveness of combined birth control pills (those with both estrogen and progestin). If you’re using one of these medications, your provider may recommend a progestin-only method or suggest using a backup method, like condoms, to ensure you’re fully protected.

Another category of antiretrovirals—non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as:

 

  • Efavirenz
  • Nevirapine

may also affect hormone levels and should be discussed with your provider when considering your contraceptive options.

On the other hand, integrase inhibitors—a newer class of HIV medications—don’t appear to interfere with hormonal birth control, making them a safer pairing in most cases.

Anti-seizure and mood stabilizing medications

If you’re taking medication to manage seizures, migraines, or mood disorders, it’s important to understand how these treatments may interact with birth control. Some anti-seizure and mood-stabilizing medications can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, and in some cases, your birth control may reduce the effectiveness of your other medication.

This interaction isn’t always straightforward. It depends on:

  • The type of medication you’re taking
  • Your dosage
  • Whether you’re using a combined pill (with estrogen and progestin) or a progestin-only method
  • Why you’re using the medication—for seizures, migraines, or mood stabilization

Certain medications, like enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs, can cause your body to break down birth control hormones more quickly, lowering protection against pregnancy. Others may be affected by the hormones in your birth control, which could make them less effective at managing your symptoms.

Common medications to discuss with your provider include:

 

  • Carbamazepine
  • Oxcarbazepine
  • Topiramate
  • Phenytoin
  • Phenobarbital
  • Primidone
  • Lamotrigine
  • Felbamate
  • Rufinamide
  • Eslicarbazepine
  • Perampanel

Because of the complex way these medications work in your body, the best approach is to talk with your healthcare provider. They’ll help you choose a birth control option that won’t interfere with your treatment — and vice versa. 

Antidepressants

It’s very common for people to take antidepressants alongside birth control pills. The good news? Research shows that antidepressants like Lexapro® (Escitalopram), Wellbutrin® (Bupropion), Zoloft® (Sertraline), Prozac® (Fluoxetine) don’t reduce the effectiveness of your birth control. Likewise, birth control pills don’t seem to interfere with how well your antidepressant works.

While birth control pills generally have minimal impact on mood—meaning they typically won’t worsen mood disorders—they’re also not a treatment for them. So if you’re managing mood symptoms, antidepressants are still your main medication option. 

If you’re taking both antidepressant medication and birth control, it’s important to keep your healthcare provider informed. That way, they can monitor your medications and make sure your treatment plan fits your unique needs. 

Diabetes medications

If you’re managing diabetes with medications like Pioglitazone or Rosiglitazone, it’s important to know that both estrogen and progesterone in birth control pills can affect blood sugar levels. Starting birth control while already on diabetes medication means you’ll need to monitor your glucose levels more closely at first.

This way, you and your healthcare provider can see if any adjustments to your diabetes medication are needed. Keeping an eye on these changes helps ensure both your blood sugar and birth control remain at target, effective and safe.

Bile acid Sequestrants

Bile acid sequestrants like Cholestyramine and Colesevelam are often prescribed to manage high cholesterol or certain digestive issues like reflux. These medications can affect how much estrogen your body absorbs from birth control pills, potentially lowering their effectiveness.

The good news is that studies show if you take your birth control and bile acid sequestrants at least four hours apart, this interaction is usually minimal. Spacing your medications this way helps keep your birth control working as intended.

If you’re using bile acid sequestrants, talk to your healthcare provider about the best timing for your medications and whether you should use a backup method for extra protection.

Cold, flu, and allergy medications

When you’re dealing with a cold, flu, or allergies, it’s important to know how over-the-counter medications might interact with your birth control. Common remedies like Mucinex® (guaifenesin) generally don’t reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.

Mucinex® helps clear mucus, pseudoephedrine relieves nasal congestion, and diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used for allergy relief and to help with sleep. These medications typically don’t affect hormone levels or how your birth control works.

However, if you’re taking multiple medications or have concerns about how cold or allergy medicine might interact with your birth control, it’s always a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider. 

Other medications and supplements

Many people use herbs, supplements, and other medications to support their health. While most don’t affect how birth control works, there are some that can lower hormone levels and reduce your contraceptive protection. It’s important to know about these so you can make informed choices and stay protected.

One well-known example is St. John’s Wort, a popular herbal supplement often used for mood support. It can decrease the amount of active hormones in your bloodstream, which may make your birth control less effective. If you’re taking St. John’s Wort, it’s a good idea to use a backup method of contraception while on it.

Other medications and supplements that might interfere with birth control include:

  • Modafinil (used for sleep disorders)
  • Bosentan (used for certain lung conditions)
  • Aprepitant (used to prevent nausea from chemotherapy)
  • Activated Charcoal (sometimes used for detox or poisoning)
  • High-dose Vitamin C
  • Grapefruit Juice (known to affect how some medications are processed)
  • Ulipristal Acetate (Ella®) (used as emergency contraception, which can interact with regular birth control)

Because interactions can vary depending on your specific medications and health, it’s always best to talk with your healthcare provider about any supplements or medicines you’re taking. 

What to do if you’re taking one of these medications

Sometimes, certain medications or supplements can reduce the effectiveness of your birth control, making it important to use a backup method like condoms to stay protected. 

Backup methods are especially recommended if you’re taking medications known to interfere with hormone levels—such as St. John’s Wort or certain antibiotics like rifampin—or if you experience vomiting or diarrhea that could prevent your body from absorbing your birth control properly.

If you find yourself needing a backup method regularly, it might be a sign that your current birth control isn’t the best fit for your medication routine or lifestyle. In many cases, switching to a different type of birth control—such as a progestin-only pill, hormonal IUD, or implant—can help maintain reliable protection while reducing interactions. These alternatives often bypass the issues some medications cause with hormone absorption or metabolism.

The best way to manage these interactions is by working closely with a healthcare provider who understands your full health picture.
