A member asked:
What percentage chance is there that oral birth control will fail while taking azithromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 5%: But if you don't want to be in the 5% use condoms.Bcp itself has a 3-5% failure rate so we recommend using condoms in addition all the time to prevent pregnancy.
