Cross reaction with birth control pill
I take pill with desogestrel 0.15mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.02mg, as recommended by a gynae. During travelling, to avoid sickness I take Avil medicine. I have noticed numbness in my hands and feet after taking avil. Has it something to do with the cross reaction with the pill I am taking? Or something else might be the reason?
