Does omeprazole affect the birth control pill?

Answer 1

No. It is a proton pump inhibitor. It decreases acid secretion in your stomach. It is often used in ulcer therapy, gastric-esophageal reflux disease and chronic heart burn.

This is NOT a contraceptive.

Answer 2

These are fine to take together. Omeprazole is a stomach acid reducer. It will not interfere with the hormones in your birth control at all. Remember that it's best to take the omeprazole on a regular basis - either once or twice daily - every day to prevent your acid reflux from coming back.

Answer 3

There are no known drug interactions between Nexium and the Birth Control pill, patch, ring, shot, implant, or IUD. As always, barrier methods are unaffected by medication.

Answer 4

There are no known drug interactions between Prevacid and hormonal birth control.
