Can The Natural Supplement Forskolin Have A Negative Effect On Oral Birth Control Pills?
Can the natural supplement Forskolin have a negative affect on my oral birth control pills? I have been taking the pills for over two years now and I am curious to know if their potentcy will decrease if I start taking Forskolin. I do not want an unwanted pregnancy but I am struggling to lose weight and saw that Forskolin has been very helpful with weight loss.

Hello
Welcome here.
I understand your concerns.
But i would like to tell you that Forskolin has been used to stimulate or promote menses in women as well as a oral birth control.
Also, the efficacy of this compond is not well established for weight loss.
Most probably it might potentiate the effects of OCPs. But take it under your doctor's suoervision.
Hooe this helps.
Thanks.
