On Birth Control. Using Diane 35 And Apo Minocycline For Acne Control. History Of RNY Operation. Will The Pill Work?
Hi Thanks for asking. Antibiotics can cause enzyme induction with resultant decrease in the efficacy of the oral contraceptive pills. That is why it is recommended that some other contraceptive method is used if taking pills with antibiotics. Mainly the erythromycin group of drugs are the culprit, but can happen with the doxycycline and other tetracycline group of drugs. Thanks.
