For years, health professionals have advised women to use a second method of birth control, in addition to the pill, for the cycle after antibiotic use; however, studies have failed to demonstrate any decrease in the effectiveness of birth control pills when combined with antibiotics. In spite of this research, some clinicians continue to recommend that women use a second method. In some cases, these clinicians have seen women get pregnant on the pill when, in their opinion, no other risk factor exists except antibiotic use. So, to sum up, if you want to be doubly certain, use a second method. If you've already had intercourse without using a second method, be reassured that the risk of pregnancy probably was not increased because of antibiotic use.
