Yes. Antibiotics will cancel out your birth control. You should not be sexually active while you are using antibiotics, or for at least a week after you stop taking them (just to be safe).

I am not sure about steroids, so I would suggest calling your local clinic, or your own doctor to ask.

They are known to weaken the effect of the contraceptive pill. secondary form of birthcontrol should be used until I believe, a month after finishing the medications.

Oh Who told you? Not at all !!

yeah

Yes! You need to use other protection when you are on birth control and antibiotics. Use condoms until u get back on track (3 weeks) with the pills after u have completely stopped taking the antibiotic.

Some antibiotics do decrease the effectiveness of the pill. I couldn't find anything about steroids though.
