Could Paxera lower Yaz effectiveness for birth control?
Patient's Query
I take the birth control pills “Yaz”. Would the antidepressant “Paxera” reduce its effect on birth control?
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Paxera, an antidepressant, may potentially affect how birth control pills work, including Yaz. While some medications can alter hormone levels, causing reduced effectiveness, it's important to remember that individual responses vary. Common symptoms of reduced effectiveness may include unexpected bleeding or changed menstrual cycles. The best course of action is to discuss your specific situation with your endocrinologist, who can guide you on the safest options. They may suggest monitoring your symptoms or considering an alternative form of contraception if needed.
