Can taking Prozac while on birth control pills counteract the pill and make me pregnant.?

Question

I heard this on t.v.....

Answer 1

You can check out drug interactions yourself on the link below.  But as entertaining as TV can be that is a pretty silly statement.  Prozac does not regulate any thing that would cause you to become pregnant.

Answer 2

Ask your pharmacist. That's the expert source for exactly this kind of information.

Answer 3

PLEASE IGNORE ALL OTHER COMMENTS!!

Prozac (Fluoxetine) may inhibit the breakdown of the estrogen in the birth control.

This could leave higher traces of estrogen in the blood, which could lead you to be more suspeptable to Estrogen Side effects ( cramps, nausea, breast tenderness)
