Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I’m currently on birth control pills and I wanted to know—can I take a low dose of Rhea supplement while I’m on it? I’ve been thinking about adding it to my routine, but I’m not sure if it’s safe or if it will interfere with my birth control.

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. When taking birth control pills, it’s important to be careful with supplements like Rhea, as some can affect how well your birth control works. There isn’t much scientific data on Rhea’s interaction with hormonal contraceptives, so it’s best to be cautious.

2. I recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before starting Rhea to ensure it’s safe for you. Meanwhile, consider using an additional contraceptive method, such as condoms, to avoid any risk of pregnancy.

 

Thanks
