A member asked:
I just finished my 10 days of taking pylera capsules. how long after will my birth control regain it's full effectiveness?

Difficult?: Hard to say. No one really knows for sure if or how much 10 days of any antibiotic will interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. To be on the safe side assume the entire cycle unsafe and use a second method of coverage but don't stop your pills. In the next cycle you should be ok.
