Antibiotics: Antibiotics can interfere with birth control medicines. Be sure to use other protection when taking these. See your gynecologist for evaluation and recommendations.

Interferences: Some antibiotics can interfere with the hormones in the birth control pills, you need to contact your ob-gyn to see if the issue is related. Alternate birth control is recommended when on some antibiotics.
