Jacquie802 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi, one more question I have for you guys (this is the last one, I promise!!!)...Does anyone take Birth Control Pills and Florinef?? I am supposed to take them, but I read that if you take Florinef you have to check with your doctor before you take them together. Anyone know why? Thanks AGAIN!!Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortotmom Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Since florinef raises blood pressure, it might be to make sure you don't have hypertension. Hypertension and the pill can be a bad mix. That's jut my two cents- I have no other ideas. Maybe someone else does?Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stace915 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi I take florinef twice a day, and have been taking it for close to a year and I have been on the pill for a few years. The only one I know that won't suggest is called Yasmin, because it lowers your potassium which the florinef also does. I am on seasonale and have had no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCsunshine Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I am on florinef and the patch (Ortho Evra). You should ALWAYS check with your doctors and pharmacists about mixing meds, no matter what they are.I also wanted to high light what someone else already said- about the yasmin causing potassium problems. I wouldn't be able to have MORE of a K deficiency, florinef already depletes me of K as it is. I can't take a higher dose of K because I'm already taking the max my body can absorb.

Aprilmarie52 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I have been on florinef for 5 years and yasmin for 6 months with no troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldOnToHope Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 My daughter takes Florinef .1 per day and a birth control pill called Zovia [spelling?]. Works just fine. I have heard that Yasmin contains a diaretic, so if that's the one you take, yo may need to pump even more fluids. My daughter got off it.....
