does taking mebeverine effect the use of the contraceptive pill?

Youll need to double check with your doctor but Ive been on both the pill and Mebeverine for about 7 years and no problems, my Docs never told me I shouldnt combine. The only time you need to be worried about tummy vs pill is if youve got an upset tummy, then the pill isnt as effective. But I say check with you doc. B

Vu is incorrect.  Birth control pills prevent ovulation so an egg is not released.  Plan B, known as the "morning after pill," helps to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.\n\nA woman will continue to menstruate as long as she is on birth controll pills.  Once an older woman comes off of BCP, she goes into menopause.

Birth control pill use.\nThe effect of using birth control pills on a woman’s subsequent \nmenopausal period is in large measure an unstudied phenomenon, \nbut birth control pills – which work by suppressing your native \nhormones, can themselves lead to many health problems. Many of the \nproblems of estrogen dominance, including fluid retention, \ndepression, headaches, and urinary tract infections, are experienced \nby women using birth control pills. Everything we’ve said about the \nnegative effects for menopausal women of using progestins applies to \nthe progestins used in birth control pills. Having altered your \nnormal hormonal cycles when using the Pill, you are more prone to \nsymptoms at midlife as well as potentially more serious health problems. \nThis is because the synthetic estrogens and progestins used in the \nPill can interfere with the body’s own progesterone receptors. The \nprogestins are more potent and may inhibit the product of your body’s \nown sex hormones.\n\nNeed more info?\nE-mail me!\nBlessings~\nMichelle Jones

A lot of women use the pill for different physical ailments in the reproductive system.  The doctor prescribed it for me for regulation.  It isn't just for contraception.

The amount of weight gain associated with the birth control pill is very slight... and a lot of doctors think that it's just due to the fact that everyone tends to gain weight and have more trouble keeping it off as they get older.  Some women lose weight while on the pill!  \n\nYour doctor can give you good advice, but a low-dose pill (another commenter said Ortho tri cyclen lo, which is a good one) generally will have fewer side effects, including weight gain.

Antibiotics that have been shown to interact with birth control pills include rifampin (brand name Rifadin), penicillin (Veetids), amoxicillin (Amoxil), ampicillin (Omnipen), cotrimoxazole (Septra or Bactrim), tetracycline (Sumycin), minocycline (Minocin), metronidazole (Flagyl), and nitrofurantoin (Macrobid or Macrodantin). For at least one week afterward doctors generally recommend that you use a condom or spermicide as a back-up method of birth control. If you are taking both antibiotics and birth control pills, be sure to check with your doctor about how long you should continue to use a back-up method.

I've never had bad symptoms on the pill, so I can't tell personal stories.  I've taken Ortho-tricyclen and Ortho-tricyclen lo... I had some weight gain on the full-strength, but the low-dose has been fine for me.\n\nI've heard some good things about the mini pill (progestin only) for women who react badly to the combination pill (progestin and estrogen).

Missing pills can significantly decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, making pregnancy among sexually active users a greater possibility. However, missing pills can also alter one's menstrual cycle. Periods may be heavier, lighter, early or late, depending on the number of pills missed. For the highest level of effectiveness, it is recommended you take your pill at the same time each day. Additionally, if you miss a pill, follow the instructions in your pill pack to see what action you should take.

The birth control pill regulates hormones. They might stop the periods or at least make them irregular enough to help you survive through the rest of the year.

It really depends on the person and your body chemistry and the doseage you are given. Percocet doesn't help me either, but Mepragan does. Next time, tell your Dr. that the meds aren't helping, your comfort is his resposibility. Unless you are in his office all the time asking for pain relief, I don't believe he will think you are a "pill seeker".

You need to follow your doctor's recommendations unless you don't think they take your well-being into account. If you are concerned about this, get a second opinion about your treatment.\n\nMy notion is that if you don't want to get pregnant, are sexually active, and want to avoid pain, its probably a good idea to take the birth control pills. Don't smoke while you take them, though!

Registered Nurse here;  Hi:), well I just spent 10 minutes reading about this anti-fungal medication.  I wanted to make sure I was correct prior to posting, after reading the other answers, and especially the one from the pharmacy tech.  As I initially thought, this medication has absolutely no effect what so ever on birth control.  This medication treats candidacies (a yeast infection).  It is frequently given to all females with yeast infection.  Teenagers, Adults, non-pregnant and pregnant.  If you have any further questions or to verify this answer, call your pharmacist, make sure you speak with a pharmacist.\nThanks for the opportunity to address this most important and well worder question regarding your health, and the interaction of medications.

Yes, the pill regulates your hormones. Now that you are off of them your hormones are freaking out and trying to regulate themselves. Don't worry, it'll pass.

I don't take that type of bc but with every bc or medication you take there are possible side effects.. here is a list of side effects and information on the medication. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.\n\nRemember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.\n\nTell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur: changes in vaginal bleeding (e.g., continuous spotting, sudden heavy bleeding, missed periods), problem wearing contact lenses, dark patches on the skin (melasma), unwanted facial/body hair, swelling of the ankles/feet, weight changes (gain or loss).\n\nThis medication may rarely cause serious (sometimes fatal) problems from blood clots (e.g., pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: sudden shortness of breath, chest/jaw/left arm pain, confusion, coughing up blood, sudden dizziness/fainting, pain/swelling/warmth in the groin/calf, tingling/weakness/numbness in the arms/legs, headaches that are different from those you may have experienced in the past (e.g., headaches with other symptoms such as vision changes/lack of coordination, existing migraines becoming worse, sudden/very severe headaches), slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body, vision problems/changes.\n\nTell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: lumps in the breast, severe stomach/abdominal/pelvic pain, mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, suicidal thoughts, persistent trouble sleeping), unusual tiredness, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.\n\nA very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.\n\nIf you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Well, buried in the depths of Crazymeds is this...\n\nInteresting Stuff Your Doctor Probably Won't Tell You: Topamax is the worst when it comes to birth control pills. If you're taking The Pill for any reason at all and you start Topamax you need to contact your OB-GYN immediately, as you may need a new prescription. It depends on the type and strength of oral contraceptive you're taking. It's all spelled out in the PI sheet. What's not in the PI sheets of either Topamax or various oral contraceptives is that combining the two often produces wacky hormonal effects that will make you feel like you're a teenager again. The most common of which is acute acne.\n\nSo that could be your answer...
