My question is about drug interactions. I have been prescribed Yasmin birth control pills for treatment of endometriosis, and also take Albuterol and Advair for treatment of asthma. Is there any possibility that my asthma meds will reduce the effectiveness of my birth control pills?

Hi again Customer (name blocked for privacy),

I see you're being very thorough, an thats a good thing when it comes to your health. Albuterol nor Advair is listed as altering or reducing the effectiveness of Yasmin. There is however a long list of other drugs that may have interactions with Yasmin, one of which is the common Motrin. I am including two links below for your perusal, that list drug interactions.

You're right. I am being very thorough. I have so many medical conditions all at once that I just don't want to make things worse.

Customer (name blocked for privacy),

You're very welcome. I do not blame you one bit, there are so many new drugs and so much we still don't know about them, it pays in the long run to be careful. Good luck with everything, and feel free to request me anytime.

Warmly

Lisa
