While goji fruits have no effect on the effectiveness of birth control pills, the matter is less obvious in the case of milk thistle extract. In the professional literature, there are reports on the effect of milk thistle extracts on the work of liver enzymes, which may affect the metabolism of some drugs (including hormones contained in tablets). The potential risk of interaction is not precisely known, so it is difficult to assess the real risk of a decrease in contraceptive effectiveness. In order to be sure that Drovelis works properly, it is worth being careful and not using milk thistle preparations chronically (or using additional protection methods during this time).
