I am taking antibiotics for an infected tooth and birth control pills. Is it possible that the antibiotics cancel out my other pills?

Hello, most antibiotics do NOT reduce the effectiveness of the birth control pill. Could you tell me the name of your antibiotic?

Hello, this medication does not normally decrease the effectiveness of your contraception. The only problematic situations that could make your contraceptive less effective would be if you had a lot of diarrhea or vomiting within an hour of taking your contraceptive, which happens very rarely. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need help. Have a nice day, Marie-Pier
