Can I take St. John's wort at the same time as the contraceptive pill while using an additional means of contraception?

It is generally not recommended to take St. John's Wort (millepertuis) while using oral contraceptives. The St. John's Wort can decrease the effectiveness of the contraceptive, so it is important to use an additional form of contraception, such as a condom, to ensure protection during sexual activity. If you have any further questions or concerns, it is best to consult with a pharmacist for more information.
