The FDA doesn't require tests for effectiveness and drug interactions for supplements like Xenadrine-EFX. Therefore no one can say for certain what effect it might have on hormonal contraceptives. However on the Xenadrine-EFX website there is a lot about changing the metabolic rate in order to burn more fat. If this supplement increase the rate at which hormones in the blood are metabolized then it could reduce the effectiveness of your protection. You might want to ask your pharmacist what s/he thinks but if I were you I wouldn't take Xenadrine-EFX while using hormonal contraceptives.
Good luck,
