Can anyone point me to information about the effectiveness of oral contraception when taking St. John's Wort?

i can speak from experience.

it has a very marked effect on the effectiveness.
there was a article in Cosmo awhile ago. i'll see if i can pull it up for you.

Oh man... I have a whole article about it saved on the other computer, which is defunct right now.

It makes the Pill less effective, was the jist of it.
