A member asked:

I took antibiotics for 3 days while i was in the placebo week of my birth control,should i still use a back up method of bc if i'm staring a new pack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Even though you are still not taking the antibiotic, the effects of it may persist in your system including the effect on your birth control. Better to be safe for a month than pregnant the next nine.
