[|Human|] Im on the Mirena birth control, and someone suggested taking Vitex to balance my hormones while using this birth control method. I tried to look up the drug interactions between the two but cant seem to find much information. Will Vitex decrease the effectiveness of the Mirena? Thank you!Hannah
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. Mirena releases about 12 micrograms progesterone in the uterine cavity which mainly acts locally causing thinning of endometrium. A very small amount is absorbed in the blood stream. IRENA does not cause imbalance in your body hormones. So there is no need to use Video. There is no evidence of interaction between video and IRENA. There is no evidence that Video decreases the effect of IRENA. Since IRENA acts locally, I do not see any possibility of Video decreasing its effect. I hope this is helpful. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
