I have to do a gastroscopy, and i was told i will be given a light sedative, to feel no pain during the exam. Is that kind of substance going to interfere with my contraceptive pill? I read that Seizure Medications Phenytoin (Dilantin) Mephenytoin (Mesantoin) Ethotoin (Peganone) Felbamate (Felbatol) Carbamazepine (Tegretol) Barbiturates (Pentobarbital, Phenobarbital, Primidone, Secobarbital, Amobarbital, Aprobarbital, Butabarbital, Butalbital, Mephobarbital) and perhaps Benzodiazepines are going to lessen the contraceptive effect. Do you know what kind of sedative would normally be used in gastroscopy? Is it between those or it is a completely different thing??? Thanks Nadia
