Hi hon, it would most definitely interefere and you could potentially end up with an unplanned pregnancy. If you are wanting to take st Johns Wort for depression you are best seeing your dr and discussing it, Dr's see a lot of patients with depression and can really help.

St John did not have a wart did he?????
Sorry, humour aside, yes it does interact with the contraceptive pill and you should seek your doctor's or pharmacist's advice before taking the two of them together.

Yes St Johns Wort stops the pill working effectively talk to your doctor about this. You will need another form of contraception.

It is best to do some solid research before you start taking a supplement. St John's Wort does have some side effects of which you should be aware. There are two other medications that you may want to check out at the same time. One is 5-HTP and the other is Sam-E.
