Are birth control pills still effective even with the antibiotic levaquin (levofloxacin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The pill doesn't lose it's effectiveness while using most other medications, including almost all antibiotics. An exception is the antibiotic Rifampin or some seizure medications, for ex.
