BC related question...
If you're on antibiotics, does it effect or rather negate the pill?
Thanks!

Yes, it negates the pill (at least all of the antibiotics I've ever taken..)

Yeah - its written in all of the small print on your prescription.
My doctor usually asks me before he gives me if I am on BCP. Then he'll hand me the script and give me the talk. "This will negate your BCP, so if you take it.. blah blah blah. Or, if you want, don't get it filled and just wait another week, you might be better by then."

I got it from my dermatologist, and he asked me what other medications I was taking.. I always forget to say the pill...lol I just called the pharmacist, he said it doesn't fully negate it, but lessens the effectiveness... AND.. continues to do so 5 days after you're off the antibiotic!

Yes - the doctor I goto (and my gyn also) say that you should use backup methods until you finish that pack, AND the whole next pack.
Thats why I usually wait a week to see if whatever I have goes away on its own first.
