I believe you have to be off the antibiotic for 7 days, depending on the bcp you're on.

A friend of mine just asked her Dr. this same question. She said 2 weeks AFTER you have stopped taking them, to be on the safe side.

I believe what she's asking is how long once you start taking antibiotics are your pills no longer effective.
