The Pill and antibiotics??
| Sat, 01-13-2007 - 5:18am |
Hi, I was just thinking about using to treat acne but Im also taking minicycline (antibiotic) I read in a few places that taking both meds can cause breakthrough bleeding and reduce birth control effectiveness. Is this a fact or is it somthing that might or might not happen??
I tried the Ring but I just get too paranoid knowing that I have something in my vagina for such a long time.

yes,some antibiotics,herbs (herbal medicines) and other OTC and prescription meds can play havoc with the birth control pill-some can even cause it to be less effective.If in doubt always check with your dr/pharmacist and use back up.
