A member asked:
Can i start a doxycycline course during my period?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Doxycycline has the potential to lower the effectiveness of a birth control pill. If you are having your period you are probably ok.

Yes: Note that all tetracycline class antibiotics may reduce levels of oral contraceptives when taken concurrently. Women should use mechanical forms of birth control when taking tetracyclines.
