Antibiotics decreasing birth control effect ? Posted: 09-07-06 12:18pm
I'm no an antibiotic for my acne & i've
been on bc for almost 2 months. I've been
taking the antibiotic for about 2 weeks
now. Ever since beginning the antibiotic
my boyfriend has always pulled out of me
since it's supposed to decrease the
effectiveness of birth control. I was
wondering if what we're doing is enough.
Before I began birth control he had always
pulled out of me and we never had any
problems. I know there is always a chance
even with birth control though.

The pull-out method is not a form of birth
control because of the pre-cum.
Antibiotics will lessen the effects of the
birth control pills.
Whenever you get a new prescription, they
should give you a hand-out with
information on it or ask for one or just
look up the info on the internet, I always
do because I have a lot of medical
situations and I realize that some meds
should not be mixed with others.
Good luck!
