A member asked:
If i take anti pregnancy pills 6 hours after taking antibiotics will my pills be effective to regulate my menstrual cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: Most common antibiotics such as ampicillin and Zithromax don't effect birth-control pills much. There are exceptions such as Rifampin, a drug used to treat tuberculosis. You might want to ask about the specific antibiotic you are on. Best wishes!
