Can You Take Probiotics With Birth Control?

Posted by: Alan in Probiotics, tags: Birth, Control, Probiotics, Take, With

I’ve read and heard that some antibiotics weaken birth control and prevent it from working properly…well, I was wondering if taking Probiotics along with birth control would inhibitit from working, as well. I really like taking a daily Probiotic because I swear by it. It makes my stomach just feel better and I really don’t want to give that up.

Yes, it can be ok to take the probiotic while being on the pill.
I have done both before with acidophillous (a form of probiotic) as a way to keep yeast infections to a minimum when on the pill.
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well before taking the probiotic though to see what they say.
