Hi,
Actually antibiotics do not have any effect on your menstrual cycle. Occasionally infection can cause stress and this can affect hormonal levels. Thus, it can delayed or earlier menses. Antibiotic like Rifampin (in treatment of tuberculosis) is known to affect menstrual hormones and thus prepone period.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
