Cefdinir: The antibiotic Cefdinir is a wide spectrum antibiotic, and does not have appreciable effect on the progesterone "mini pill". The effect of the "mini pill" is on the lining of the uterus, and the effect creates an environment which prevents implantation of the fertilized egg. The effect on the uterine lining will last even if some of the progesterone is not absorbed.
