A member asked:
Does the antibiotic azithormycin effect my birth control pills? is this why i am having spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics vs. pill: Antibiotics can interfere with the absorption of the oral contraceptive pill and therefore should never be taken together as the antibiotic will be preferably absorbed leaving you with little contraceptive protection. Separate the doses by at least 4 to 6 hours.
