A member asked:
Hi. does azithromycin affect the pill cerazette? i took 4 azithromycin 2 weeks ago and don't know how long this could impact on my birth control.

Antibiotics: As a general rule, all antibiotics have the potential to minimally decrease the effectiveness of birth control, so it best to simply use condoms as well when having sex while on them. Best wishes.
