How soon can i start my birth control pills after finishing antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now: Some antibiotics can make birth control pills less effective meaning you should use a back up method like condoms while you are taking the antibiotics. There is no reason to stop or delay the birth control pills.
