A member asked:

Is it okay to take penicillin while on contraceptive pills?

Yes: If you need antibiotics you should definitely take them. To be completely safe, use condoms too for the cycle/package of pills you are on while taking the penicillin. Hope you feel better fast.

Yes: Be aware that some antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills if taken at the same time. Using a back up method or changing to a stronger contraceptive pill while on antibiotics may be warranted.
