Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Lymecycline won't interact with birth control pills. You can safely take birth control pills while you are on Lymecycline. It won't cause any contraceptive failure. However, keep in mind that antibiotics, like Rifampicin may interact with contraceptive pills.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
