Hi,
Thanks for the query.

As per the literature available no major drug interaction reported between arpizol and XXXXXXX
But sometimes antidepressants can affect the metabolism of contraceptive pills.
So if you are using the pill for contraceptive purpose better to use some additional method like barrier method.
If you are using for hormonal regularization in PCOD you can continue.
