A member asked:
I took the morning after pill and 2 days later i had to take antibiotics does this affect the efficacy of the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Antibiotics interfere with the absorption of the birth control or moning after pills, and would have no effect 2 days later. You should , however, use additional contraception for 3 weeks after taking antibioitcs if you are relying on a birth control fill for contraception.

When a prescription says take two/three/four times a day does that mean between morning and evening or over a 24 hour period? Like for an antibiotic.
