One of our Patient Care Advisors or licensed physicians will always review the medications and supplements you’re currently taking before prescribing Emoquette. Certain drugs (recreational, over-the-counter, or prescription) can interact with Emoquette and make it less effective at preventing pregnancy. Medications that may interact with Emoquette include HIV drugs, anti-seizure drugs, antibiotics, and even herbal supplements like St. John’s wort.
Women who have high blood pressure or take other drugs to control blood pressure should not take Emoquette. Our Pandia Health medical team recommends other options including progestin-only pill (POPs), IUDs with hormone (Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla), copper IUDs, implants (nexplanon), the birth control shot (depo-provera), or condoms and spermicide.
