Just wondering if anyone can give some insight. I had to go on antibiotics and still continued my pills and also used a condom. Are the risks of pregnancy still really low with that? I know that the BC pill effectiveness is lower but it dosent go right to zero right?? with a condom its still pretty safe sex?

Antibiotics and BC

In that situation you are relying on the condom to prevent pregnancy. You can't count on the birth control pill remaining effective to any degree.

Look here and here .Apparently there is some controversy, but I wouldn't take a chance on relying on the BC pill alone. But it also depends on the type of antibiotic.

Ooh, good links. Nice work, Steve.

It's best to use the condom whle on the anti biotic just to make sure. I'm glad that someone reads labels. :-D
