Patch & Tetracycline Confused

I'm confused. I've been on the patch for about 2 years now. I recently was placed on tetracycline. The Ortho Evra website and my obgyn swear that tetracycline will not change effectiveness of the patch. However, I read on other websites that it might. Now I'm really concerned that I might not be able to rely on the patch alone. What is the truth about tetracycline and the patch?
