Hi there!
Efficacy of oral contraception may be decreased by concomitant use with topiramate.This combination results in increased metabolism of the estrogenic component of the oral contraceptive. The people taking this combination need to be informed that it can result in decrease in efficacy of the birth control pill. Such women need to use an additional contraceptive method as topiramate taken along with along with Loestrin, may reduce its effectiveness and result in unwanted pregnancy. I hope you find this information useful. Do keep us posted.
Good luck!
