Drug & supplement interaction

Vitamin B6 + Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone

Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone brand name: Yaz.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone and Vitamin B6 in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone is filed under 14 classifications — including progesterone, potassium-sparing diuretics, progestin. Vitamin B6 has documented interactions with 5 drug classes — the most serious being amiodarone (cordarone) (moderate), antihypertensive drugs (moderate) and phenobarbital (luminal) (moderate) — and none of Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

Keep it in perspective

Vitamin B6 Does Interact With Other Medications

Vitamin B6 has 205 moderate, 5 minor known drug interactions in our database — Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on Additional detail
Vitamin B6
“Orally or by injection, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can cause decreased serum folic acid concentrations. One case of persistent bleeding of unknown origin has been reported in a clinical trial for a patient who used vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 100 mg twice daily on days 16 to 35 of the menstrual cycle. It is unclear if this effect was due to vitamin B6 intake.”

Special populations

Vitamin B6 in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Likely Safe

When used orally and appropriately. A special sustained-release product providing vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 75 mg daily is FDA-approved for use in pregnancy. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is also considered a first-line treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. However, it should not be used long-term or without medical supervision and close monitoring. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) refers to vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxine and is 80 mg daily for those aged 14-18 years and 100 mg daily for 19 years and older.

Pregnancy Possibly Unsafe

When used orally in excessive doses. There is some concern that high-dose maternal vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can cause neonatal seizures.

Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally in doses not exceeding the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxine 80 mg daily for those aged 14-18 years and 100 mg daily for those 19 years and older. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in lactating women is 2 mg daily. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of vitamin B6 when used in higher doses in breast-feeding women.

Worth knowing

No Interaction — But Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone May Lower Your Vitamin B6 Levels

These two do not interact. The relationship runs the other way: the licensed record lists Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone as associated with lower Vitamin B6 levels — rated “Insignificant Depletion”.

Estrogens might reduce blood levels of vitamin B6. However, low doses are unlikely to have a clinically meaningful effect. Estrogens can interfere with vitamin B6 metabolism. Reduced plasma pyridoxal phosphate levels may occur with oral contraceptives and estrogen replacement therapy. It is suggested that low vitamin B6 levels contribute to depression, lethargy, and fatigue sometimes associated with oral contraceptives. But there is not reliable evidence that vitamin B6 supplements prevent or treat these symptoms. Also, there is some evidence that with low-dose estrogen contraceptives, levels return to normal despite continued therapy. In general, use of oral contraceptives or postmenopausal estrogens does not necessitate vitamin B6 supplementation. For information on foods that are rich in vitamin B6, see our chart.

About Vitamin B6

What is Vitamin B6?

Morning sickness in pregnancy
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Preventing or treating B6 deficiency
Nerve health and metabolism support
Nausea

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is an essential water-soluble vitamin that your body needs for metabolism, brain function, and making red blood cells. It is best known for helping with pregnancy-related nausea and may help some people with PMS, but taking very high doses for long periods can cause nerve damage. Get most of your B6 from food, and check with a pharmacist or doctor before taking high-dose supplements.

Tablets, capsules, softgels, liquid drops, part of B-complex and multivitamins

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Vitamin B6 is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Vitamin B6 record says about it on its own.

Vitamin B6: dosing

There is no single "best" supplement dose for everyone, and the right amount depends on your age, health, and the reason you are taking it. Health authorities set recommended daily intakes and an upper limit to help avoid nerve-related side effects from too much.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the upper limit unless a healthcare provider tells you to. Avoid taking high-dose B6 for long periods on your own.If you take a B-complex or multivitamin, check how much B6 it already contains so you do not accidentally take too much from multiple products.

Taking Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Vitamin B6 with Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone?

We do not list a known interaction between Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.

Do Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.

Can Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone lower my Vitamin B6 levels?

Natural Medicines records Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone as a medicine that can deplete Vitamin B6. That is the opposite direction to an interaction — it is a reason some people are told to take a supplement, not a reason to avoid one. Do not start one on the strength of this page; ask your pharmacist or doctor whether it applies to you.

How was the Vitamin B6 and Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone is filed under 14 classifications, and Vitamin B6 has documented interactions with 5 drug classes — none of Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.

Does Vitamin B6 interact with any other medications?

Yes. Vitamin B6 has 210 documented drug interactions in our database — Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.

Does Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone interact with any supplements?

Yes. Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone has documented interactions with 245 supplements in our database — Vitamin B6 is not one of them. The Ethinyl Estradiol, Drospirenone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
