On Microgynon. Can Tetralysal Be Taken Along?

Hi, I have recently started taking Tetralysal/lymecycline only one daily, I also take microgynon and my doctor explained to me about this but I'm not sure if I can actually still take the pill and just use extra precaution as well as the pill just be to be safe or do I stop it completely? Please can you help me.

Thanks

Hello,
Definitely,some suspicion has been raised about using TETRALYSAL with microgynon because it is thought to reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
It is better to take extra precaution,like by using condomes.while you are on TETRALYSAL,to be on safe side.
Thanks
