Combined Oral Contraceptive and Methylcobalamin: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 4 records that name Combined Oral Contraceptive and Methylcobalamin together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Combined Oral Contraceptive and Methylcobalamin. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

4 studies naming Combined Oral Contraceptive and Methylcobalamin.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Which DFT functional performs well in the calculation of methylcobalamin? Comparison of the B3LYP and BP86 functionals and evaluation of the impact of empirical dispersion correction.

The journal of physical chemistry. A · 2011 · PMID 21806069

Comparative Study

“B3P86-D also performed well. A detailed analysis was undertaken to determine which atoms in cobalamin have large dispersion interactions with a methyl fragment of MeCbl.”

Hirao · From the abstract

Names Combined Oral Contraceptive and Methylcobalamin together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Reductive cleavage mechanism of methylcobalamin: elementary steps of Co-C bond breaking.

The journal of physical chemistry. B · 2007 · PMID 17567060

Comparative Study

“The analysis of thermodynamic and kinetic data provides a rationale as to why Co-C cleavage in reduced form requires prior departure of the axial base. Finally, the possible connection of present work to B12 enzymatic catalysis and the involvement of anion-radical-like [MeCbl]*- species in relevant methyl transfer reactions is discussed.”

Kozlowski et al. · From the abstract

Names Combined Oral Contraceptive and Methylcobalamin together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Combined Oral Contraceptive, Methylcobalamin, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
