Echinacea & the pill

Heeeey, didn't know whether to put this thread here or in Health&Fitness, so please move if you want to :)

I've got a bit of a cold coming on, so I thought I'd try some echinacea to get rid of it- just worried it might interfere with the pill? Anyone know anything at all? Cheers :thumb:

    Hey Dobbin,

    I have not read anything that suggests any negative interraction between Echinacea and birth control. In fact I've seen some medical advice that advocated taking the two together in a given instance.

    To be 100% sure you should really consult your doctor, or seek the advice of a pharmacist.

    Take care...
