A member asked:

Does nitrofurantoin mono: mcr 100mg affect birth control? i'm on blisovi 24 fe.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

B.C. stays effective: The current thinking is that except for rifampin, other commonly-used antibiotics (such as nitrofurantoin and many others) do not alter the effectiveness of birth control pills. This is likely presuming a person is not sick with vomiting or diarrhea, or some other condition that decreases the absorption of a swallowed pill.
