A member asked:

Im on the 6th day of pill and my period but been taking antibiotics for 3 days now, and had unprotected sex today.. will my pills still work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The only antibiotic that has been associated with decreased efficacy of the birth control pills is rifampin. It's unlikely that is the antibiotic you are on, so likely you are a-okay!
