>I know some antibiotics reduce the efficacy of bc pills but can you tell
me if metronizadole (not sure of spelling) interacts bc pills in any way?<
According to my RE, this is old thinking, akin to an old wives' tale. Antibiotics do not affect bcps or their efficacy. However, if you are nervous about it, use a barrier form of contraceptive on top of the bcps.
