A member asked:
If you are on birth control pills can the antibiotic biaxin (clarithromycin) cause your period to be late? or missed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: BUT, antibiotics in general can minimally decease the effectiveness of birth control, so be sure to use condoms as well when having sex on antibiotics. If your period does not come, be sure to check a pregnancy test, and see your GYN. Best wishes.
