Naomi Drank This Detox Tea Every day

The drink by @booteauk was found to contain laxatives that remove certain substances from the body - unfortunately also the pill. While the laxative effect is of course supposed to help with weight loss, few women who use it know that it can also interfere with the effectiveness of the pill.

But that's not all. Naturally, Naomi went public with her story - and it turns out she wasn't alone. But why aren't women being told about this?

It stated that the effect of the pill could be impaired if taken within four hours of the tea - i.e. within the window of the laxative effect. The pill should therefore be taken in the evening before going to bed to allow it to work overnight - before drinking tea in the morning.

All women who have become pregnant with Detox tea have had to realize that this is a serious side effect. In general, you should therefore read carefully about the potential side effects of detox tea before consuming it.

Caution is Needed, Especially With Antibiotics

In the case of all kinds of inflammations, the doctor prescribes antibiotics - sometimes without informing the patient that they can affect the pill. If you don't read the instructions carefully, you might be in for a shock. Detox tea can also alter the effect of the pill. So if in doubt, always ask your gynecologist before having an unexpected baby.
