What medicines reduce effect of oral contraceptives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Several antibiotics and even some cold medicatins can potentially do this. Best advice...Use condoms too when on other medications, especially prescriptions usless your gyn evaluates them and gives the ok to use pills alone.
