Mega Primrose and Birth Control Pills?

I called my gynecologist b/c I could not get a clear answer. She said you SHOULD NOT TAKE PRIMROSE AND BIRTH CONTROL together because it weakens your birth control. I have been working at taking more vitamins like prenatal vitamins (not for the purpose of pregnancy); hair skin & nail vitamins, and I wanted to incorporate something else to help strengthen my hair since I colored it recently. I make it a point to research on-line or at least call a pharmacist before I start taking anything.

Update:

I must also add that I have been taking the vitamins for over two months and I have not experienced any noticeable side effects. As far as the BC. I can deal with those side effects rather than the one that I would have without taking BC.
