A member asked:
I am on doxycycline for ten days, how soon after taking it will my birth control be effective again? do i have to wait until i start a new bc pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's fine : There is no solid evidence that antibiotics decrease efficacy of birth control. It's a myth. You will be fine.
