Carbamazepine: Medicines
built 622 days ago
Carbamazepine decreases the blood levels of hormonal contraceptives containing oestrogen and/or progesterone, which may make the contraceptive ineffective or result in breakthrough bleeding. Women taking this medicine who require contraception should be prescribed a contraceptive containing at least 50 micrograms of oestrogen, or use non-hormonal methods of contraception, such as condoms.

Carbamazepine should not be used during pregnancy, but taking the medicine can make birth control pills less effective. Use a non-hormone method of birth control (not birth control pills) to prevent pregnancy while you are taking carbamazepine.
