Can erythromycin cause spotting? im on birth control - low dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, most commonly used antibiotics interfere with the birth control pill somewhat and reduce its effectiveness. Spotting may be a symptom of that. It is wise to use additional contraception when you are taking antibiotics.
