Will Antibiotics Effect Birth Control Pills (Top voted first)

I've been using Purbac for a month now. Can they prevent me from falling pregnant? Secondly I've recently gain weight, can it be because of them because i'm only taking it with Texa Allegy tablets for my skin as prescribed by my Dermatologist.

Dear Pontsho, I've always was told, when u r on birth control and antibiotics 2 use back up protection. Something about how antibiotics can interfere with the full effect of birth control.

There are some antibiotics that don't, but this one can, because it affects how much estrogen you absorb from them, so they may not work to prevent ovulation and pregnancy, while you are on the antibiotic.

If you've been actively engaging in intercourse, it would be best to have yourself checked for pregnancy and, if you aren't, then use other precautions, such as condoms in the future.

Is there anything else I can help with?
