Another question about antibiotics and the pill.... What if it's only one dose of antibiotics?? How long will it take for the pill to regain protection? I beleive the name of antibiotic is called Azythromycin (sp)

Hey Jill, thanks for the info, I also called my pharmasist and he told me that it was penicilin antibiotics that affect birth conrtol pills, and that this one won't affect mine. Now I'm left wondering what to do...

While I agree with Jill that we are not a substitute for medical professionals (like pharmacists), if it were me, I would still use backup.
