Antibiotics & BCP: Nope. You will have to have a partner wear a condom for now. The antibiotics may lessen the birth control's efficacy.

Yes: Most antibiotics do not interfere with birth control pills. Just confirm that your doctor knows you are on birth control to help guide their antibiotic selection.
