Damiana and Birth Control Pills (Marvelon): What You Need to Know

Question
Hello,

Does taking Damiana affect taking
the contraceptive pill Marvelon?

Thank you

Answer
Hi Susan,

I am no herbal expert, but after doing a little research I have not found any sources saying that Damiana should not be taken when you are on the birth control pill.

I think you should ask some of the herbalists on AllExperts before you start taking Damiana: http://www.allexperts.com/getExpert.asp?Category=3224

Hope this helps!
