    Pregnancy and the pill
    Hiya people :)

    I got a question for you guys, I am on the pill, but also on a weight loss pill called orlistat ( I think ) Something like that, And it gives me a dodgy stomach. It gives me diarrhea, and my doctor told me that if your sick or have a dodgy stomach the pill won't be effective, but then he put me on the weight loss pills, when he knows that it can cause diarrhea, so is my pill effective, or is there a chance that it's not?

    Many Thanks :D x

    Orlistat does not make the pill ineffective, nor does the diarrhea caused by it.

    Your pill is still effective.

    Make sure you are following the diet plan that goes along with Orlistate to alleviate the diarrhea.
