Hello,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm just starting slimquick and since I have read that it contains hormones, would like to know if it is safe to take along with birth control.  I do not want to take this if it will alter the effects of my birth control pill.

Thank you so much for your help and good luck!

    first you should talk to your doctor about starting this plan as well as the birth control.. I was told that because it has ingredients that need to be aborbed into your system via your stomach as does the pill you should never take the 2 things at the same time of day. as with a lot of medications you should try to leave 2 hours between taking sq and taking your pill.. i was told it`s easier to take your birth control at night before bed as it should be hours after your last SQ dose as well as hours before the next SQ dose. you could also talk to your doctor about nonoral forms of birth control if this still concerns you. there isn`t any significant link to SQ effecting birth control but it`s always good to be safer by not having the 2 things trying to absorb at the same time.
