A member asked:
I took amoxil500 during my bcp inactive week while on my period and finished the dose b4 starting new pack. how long will it affect my birth control?

No effect : If you only took antibiotics during placebo (inactive) week and finished before your new pack then it should not effect you new pack. Antibiotics are processed by the an enzyme in liver that processes birth control pills making hormone levels less and that is how they interfere with birth control pills So if only use antibiotics during sugar pills then should have no impact on next pack pills
