A member asked:
Does doxycycline affect birth control pills. i know some antibiotics decrease effectiveness and some antibiotics dont. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doxy should be ok: The current thinking is that except for rifampin, other commonly-used antibiotics (such as doxycycline and many others) do not alter the effectiveness of birth control pills. This is likely presuming a person is not sick with vomiting or rapid diarrhea, or some other condition that decreases the absorption of a swallowed pill.
