How much time after antibiotics is my birth control effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 hours after pill: You can take and have absorbed the antibiotic pill 4 or more hours after you have taken the oral contraceptive. The oral contraceptive pill will have been absorbed and functioning in your bloodstream by that time and will be effective.
