    Is it safe to take cough medicine when you're on birth control pills?
    I recently caught a nasty cold and cough. My question is this: Can I take a cough syrup while under birth control pills? (Loestrin) Will it interfere or cause side effects?

    Cough syrup is fine to take. It's certain antibiotics that you need to be worried about.
