Does cough medicine with Codeine decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills? |
[Edit]
Answer
Hello there.
As Codeine is a inflammatory and also from the Paracetamol family, its unlikelly it will affect the effectiveness of the birth control pills you are taking.
But if you are in doubt, then use a condom for the next seven days to prevent pregnancy.
