What interactions can birth control pills have with taking atripla? -
01-08-2009, 07:35 AM
I'm on loestrin birth control pills and atripla. My doctor knew that i was on loestrin when she prescribed the atripla. I read online that it can be dangerous to combine birth control pills with atripla. What exactly can happen with this combination?

The main problem with taking atripla with oral contraceptives like loestrin is that the birth control contains ethinyl estradiol. When combined with atripla it increases the drug level of ethinyl estradiol and no alternative has been recommended. I would advise you to call the doctor and voice your concerns about the medication interactions and let him know you've read that they aren't good to take together and you want to be sure nothing will happen to you. If he voices that despite what you are reading there is no major risk then ok, but your doctor is the best one to advise you on if it's really ok.
