Hi,
Is it possible to eat hormonal birth control pills together with Viagra for women?
Won't it increase the possibility of pregnancy?

Regards,
Kursau

You should never mix any two drugs without being told it's OK by the doctor who knows your medical history. Something as simple as blood pressure could be very important, as it is for each drug alone. And there are PLENTY of risks associated with Viagra, and very few studies done on it with women.

As for increased risk of pregnancy, who knows? I know someone who got pregnant while on birth control and a psych medication. Her doctor didn't even look up the little known risk associated with the psych drug, but there it was, in the literature. So be careful who you listen to even in the medical profession. I have a feeling there aren't any stats on this part of the question yet. Some of the NEW studies being done on women using Viagra do seem to show a hope for growth of the endometrium, not surprising given that Viagra sends blood flow to the genital regions of both men and women. But I don't see a connection to getting pregnant when you don't want to, while taking birth control. These are studies on women trying to conceive.
