Yes it can: another form of birth control is typically recommended while on INH (condoms, barrier methods). if you're sexually active, would discuss with your doc as to the best methods.

No: According to the National Institute of Health Rifampin / rifibutin is the only antibiotic that has been clearly shown to make hormonal birth control less effective.
