Yes. ANYTHING like herbs or pills that you take for your body besides birth control you need to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist in order to make sure it does not lessen the affect of the BCPs.

Yes, the St Johns Wort can affect birth control pills. It causes the pill to be less effective at protecting against pregnancy.
