medicines that affect the pill

Which medicines can affect the bc pill? The dr. gave me a pill for my bladder infection and also a pill for my naseatued stomach (just getting over the flu).

One of the best resources I've found for pill interactions is the Eckerd Drugs website's drug interaction tool:

It's easy to use and very complete, with OTC medications and nutritional supliments.
Also, any pharmacy will be glad to answer drug interaction questions, and they are often better informed about the latest in drug interaction information than doctors.
Hi stephanien719, welcome back!

Neither the MedlinePlus Drugs and Supplements feature nor the U of MD Drug checker say anything about your meds interacting with hormonal contraceptives that I could find.

Your safest course is to use backup with ANY antibiotic.
