Because dietary supplements are not regulated, no information on drug interactions is available. I have not heard this rumor, but I also can not say it isn't so; no studies are available. If you're concerned, consider using a backup method of birth control (for example, abstinence from vaginal sex, or condoms and spermicide) until you finish the Metabolife, then finish the next cycle of pills. By the way, why not use the tried-and-true method of eating less, exercising more for weight loss, rather than a chemical (whether made by a plant or lab, it's still a chemical) that revs up your heart rate and blood pressure? Just a rhetorical question; no need to answer. -- Patti Tessler, BSN, MSN, RN, CS Family Nurse Practitioner Next message: Patti Tessler, FNP: "Re: Ovulation" Previous message: Patti Tessler, FNP: "Re: Waiting for Period Post-BCP...
