- Yes, it really is true. I've had a couple doctors tell me that a drug
- they were prescribing would interfere with the pill. But I've also had
- some not tell me anything. One of those times I asked the
- pharmacist-in-training, who looked at the ceiling like the answer was
- printed up there, and said, "No, it doesn't interfere." I didn't trust
- him, so I called my sister (OB/gyne) and she said, "Yes, it absolutely
- does."

- Since then I make it a point to ask the *doctors* about any prescription
- they're writing for me.
