Hi,
I don't know for sure but when I was researching this on the web all sites stated that the interaction between hormonal NBE products and hormonal contraceptives was a possibility. My naturopath also told me not to use Vitex while on the pill.
My impression from this information is that there is no scientific proof or evidence that ingesting herbal remedies interacts with the pill (or that it's very rare), but that you should use an extra method of birth control just in case.
I have chosen not to take meds for this reason. Instead I am using flaxseed oil for massage once a day and trying to follow a healthy diet.
Hope this answers your question!
