Can I take castor oil at the same time as the Alesse 28 birth control pill?

Hello,

First, what is the reason you want to take castor oil? And do you want to take it by mouth or rather apply it to your skin or hair?

Okay, thank you for that information.

There is no interaction in this case. You can use both products without worrying about a decrease in the effectiveness of your pill.

That said, you shouldn't expect striking results in terms of eyelash growth with castor oil.

That's exactly right!

Ricin oil by mouth often causes diarrhea, which could help decrease the effectiveness of the pill. This is a theoretical risk, but still something to consider!

It feels good,
