Do the new 'Quicktabs' interfere with BCP?From: Tracy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 18 May 2003 17:01:53 -0500 (CDT)
Has anyone heard anything as to weither or not the new Excedrin QuickTabs can interfere with the BCP? (They contain acetaminophen and caffine as the active ingredients according to the box, and dissolve in your mouth). One of my girlfriends mentioned that because they dissolve like this, they are like an antacid and might interfere with the pill's horomones--she had also heard that acetominaphen can cause the pill to fail in and of itself. I'm frightened: I am on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and have been taking my pills faithfully. I have not missed any pills or took any late, but I did take 2 of these Excedrin "pills" a few weeks ago to help with some bad pill-related breast pain. I'm not sure about weither I should be worried. I have read that there can be effectiveness problems with antacids, antibiotics, St. John's Wort, anti-seizure drugs and so on, but not acetaminophen. Any thoughts?
