A member asked:
I'm takin penicillin who long will that effect my birthcontrol ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: According to the mayo clinic no large, long-range studies have proven antibiotics to cause major interference with the pill. Only one antibiotic, rifampin, has been shown to definitively cause loss of effectiveness. Penicillin should not be an issue.
