Can I speak to an expert in birth control pills please

Thank you for that information. Her is my initial answer:
1. Alcohol has no effect on the effectiveness of birth control. The only way that it would affect birth control is if you forgot to take the pill or threw it up
2. IF the alcohol for some reason decreased the effectiveness of the pill, then you would likely experience some breakthrough bleeding
3. I will admit that I have never been asked this question either in my practice or online, but I am not aware of any concerns. If there WERE concerns, then we would have a huge problem on our hands. Also, if there were concerns, this would be part of the counseling for women taking birth control pills.

So, in my profession opinion, you have nothing to worry about. BUT, know that there is no birth control that is 100% effective.

Does this answer your questions?

I do understand your concerns. I would normally tell a patient to take the pill in the evening when they brush their teeth and go to bed. This is mainly so that they do not forget. Also, there is less chance of nausea as a side effect.

In terms of taking it with food, I would suggest that you wait 30 minutes after the meal to take the pill.
