Hi all!

I am having trouble finding out any definite info on this subject matter - I may begin taking lamisil (an oral med for many things, among them nail fungus), and I cannot find anywhere that states whether or not it interacts with bc pills.

I did find a few sites that indicated that bc might INCREASE some of the side effects of lamisil, but I haven't seen anything about it lessening the effect of bc. My bf and I are just using my pill as a method, and I certainly want to make sure nothing is going to interfere with that (I asked my doctor and he seemed pretty certain that there were no effects on bc but I like to see this stuff in writing) :-)

Is the fact that I can't find anything saying they interact a good thing? Just wanted to check with some of the experts :-)
