Will the melatonin stop the antibiotic and birth control from working?

I believe that melatonin has to do with regulating your sleep patterns. (if it isn’t than i’m completely wrong.) I had to do that to regulate the hormones which make you sleepy when it’s dark outside and awake during the day. as far as i was concerned, while melatonin is working with hormones, it doesn’t affect the estrogen and other hormones in birth control and therefore won’t affect how it works. But, just to be sure, I would ask your doctor and if you’re worried, just use a different form of protection.
No, melatonin will not stop either, but in fact, make them more potent. Melatonin acts as a vasoconstrictor in the uterus, which will discourage pregnancy, if not outright prohibit it. Melatonin is also a very strong antioxidant, which will stave off infection as well. You’re good to go.
The antibiotic will have an effect on you BC pills. Call your doc.
melatonin—-no
but depending on the antibiotic— you may have a bundle of joy in 9 months. Check with the doc/ pharmacist
