It's a good idea: While the cases of contraceptive failure associated with using oral antibiotics are not well-documented, most doctors recommend you use barrier contraception such as condoms or spermicide until you finish the antibiotics and complete the current oral contraceptive cycle. It's a good back-up plan!
