Apologies because I know I read about this somewhere on VP, but at the moment I'm running a fever and sick and cannot find the information again/reliable information from another source.
I am on beyaz (generic of yaz, exact same thing except the non-hormonal pills have a supplement in them) and I remember reading that one shouldn't take NSAIDs while taking yaz-cannot remember if this was because it would decrease beyaz's effectivity or because of some other health risk. (I have always avoided NSAIDS since then.)
However, as I said, I'm sick and scatterbrained and took one aleve today without thinking. I'm not so much worried about the one aleve I took as I am what about would happen if I kept taking it. I would like to use it as a fever reducer because I live in a dorm and don't have access to non-NSAID medication until Monday...
So, what is the interaction between yaz and NSAIDS? Can I take them once in awhile, or not at all while on yaz? Apologies if any of this is poorly stated, I'm pretty out of it.
