What Women Need to Know About Birth Control

As a woman who grows older and is more curious to different things, Birth Control might come across her mind. I found an article that could spark up some minds of a woman. It's very interesting to read! I just thought it might do some of you women some good. I really thought that it was informative and well written. There are drugs that cause Vitamin Deficiency and they could cause less problems during unwanted pregnancy and birth. Which is very vital for people who take a lot of pills and they probably don't know what can effect a birth control to less likely work.
Many prescription drugs cause vitamin and mineral imbalances or deficiencies. Diuretics used to lower blood pressure deplete heart-essential minerals such as magnesium. The cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins (Mevacor, Zocor) deplete coenzyme Q10 which is essential for healthy heart muscles. Birth control pills deplete vitamin B6 and folic acid. Folic acid protects against birth defects and both vitamins protect against cervical dysplasia, the abnormal cell growth detected by a pap smear. You're much better off if you can avoid birth control pills, but if you must take them, be sure to get 50 mg of vitamin B6 and 200 mcg of folic acid daily.

Also, the following drugs can make birth control pills less effective, increasing the risk of an unwanted pregnancy and the risk of birth defects: antibiotics (including macrolides, penicillins, tetracyclines), rifampin for TB, antifungals such as metronidazole (Flagyl), anti-HIV drugs, and epilepsy drugs.
