Does anyone know if Yeast Arrest- a suppository containing boric acid for yeast infections- has any drug interactions? Specifically with Nuvaring (the birth control ring)?

I've heard that Yeast Arrest, specifically, can cause problems with the birth control pill (not causing failure ... causing an increase in estrogen and therefore whatever side effects you're already feeling). Since NuvaRing is also hormonal, it might interact with that, too.
But I had no idea Yeast Arrest contained boric acid! Boric acid is used in my area to kill insects! I'm not sure I would use that if I was already on another form of medication, like birth control.

In theory, use of boron with estrogen-active drugs such as birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy may result in increased estrogen effects.
Use of boron with testosterone-active drugs such as Testoderm® may result in increased testosterone effects.
