hay fever tablets

[scarymary]

do hay fever tablets affect the contraceptive pill ?

I don't believe there are any interactions but call the pharmacist to be sure.

I was told by the doctor that you only need to worry when you are about to take antibiotics... But check with your GP....

Over the counter medications should not interact with contraception pills. Some stronger Non-sedating antihistaminesm which are only available on prescription may intefere, but this is only likely if you are using older anthhistamines, such as alimemazine (trimeprazine) and promethazine.

As Marvin correctly stated, as a rule of thumb, most over the counter medications can be taken with other medications, except in the case of antibiotics.

If you are unsure, your pharmacist or GP will give you advice.
