Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
There are many antibiotics which interfere with contraceptive pills. As you were on antibiotics for 1 week it is possible that it may interfere with your mini pill. I could have given you a more accurate answer if you would have mentioned the name of the antibiotic you consumed. If you have missed your period then do a urine pregnancy test on a morning sample of urine. If it is positive visit your gynecologist for further evaluation.
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
