May affect BCP: Antibiotics (check with your doc) may interfere with the effects of bcps-make them less effective, i.e. You could get pregnant. Generally, using a second method of birth control is a good idea, if taking antibiotics. If abs go over into the next cycle, continue the second method throughout that one too.
