"Airborne": Taking "Airborne" is not known to affect your bcps' effectiveness. Remember, unless spotting or bleeding occurs, as when one misses an active pill or two, there is no diminishing of the pill's actions. For example, taking the placebo pills which have no hormones in them does not diminish the birth control from low dose oral bcp's.
