If i took aftera last night . can i start an antibiotic today?

About antibiotics...: Commonly used antibiotics taken in their typical doses should not affect the effectiveness of Aftera or similar pills. Taking emergency contraception pills can alter the timing or the quality of the current menstrual cycle bleeding and maybe the next cycle, too. One should check a urine pregnancy test 3 weeks later, because emergency contraceptive pills work most of the time but not all the time.
