She had said nothing about it interfering with the shots. But again, I would do as Rev and AZ suggests, the best thing is for her to ask her doctor. -------------- Bettia....

Although in the notes that come alone with birth control, it warns the taker to talk to their doctor before taking anything else due to any possible side affects. Unfortunately with birth control pills, weight gain is sometimes a side affect, so wouldn't taking Xenadrine be a little bit of a waste of time? I don't mean to offend if I do! But do check with a doctor first :) Take care!
