That's a question for your nephrologist. Ask him/her about the medication and whether it can effect your CKD!

A nephrologist put me on birth control when I was 18. They told me never to have children so I had a tubal ligation at age 21. I attributed that in part to why I've kept my transplant so long. You should ask your doctor, but I think it's safe.
