Hello,
To the question "Can I use antipyretic headache medicine if I am taking oral contraceptives daily?", the pharmacist would like to answer as follows:
Because you did not give the exact name of the antipyretic drug. I have a headache so I can't give specific advice. However, common headache medications do not interact with daily oral contraceptives, so they can be used together! You need to read the leaflet carefully before using the medicine.
If you still have questions about whether you can use daily oral contraceptives to reduce fever and headache, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
