Does taking an antibiotic while on birth control pill cause abnormal bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not : It should not but being sick can often cause menstrual cycle disruption. If this is a one time event then it should correct itself. If this is a recurring problem you will need to discuss with your doctor.
