A member asked:
Heard antibiotics like doxycycline hyclate can cause breakthrough bleeding while on ocps. can d.h. cause breakthrough bleeding while off ocps too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Some antibiotics can lead to accidental pregnancies while using ocps and you need to use back up birth control. If you are taking Doxycycline for cervicitis from chlamydia or pid, the bleeding might be a result of the infection and not directly from the antibiotic.
