A member asked:
If i took the morning after pill how long should i wait until i begin taking my antibiotics?

Bcp and abx: Only the antibiotic Rifampin is known to interfere with hormonal birth control. So the answer is you can take the morning after pill even while on antibiotics.

NO: If you're taking an antibiotic that is not rifampin, you're all good as long as you're using your birth control method as directed. Same goes for the morning-after pill ...
