Answers:
Every birth control pill is different!. I would ask her to go to the doctor or a walk in clinic and talk to them!. You need professional opinion on this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it has been proven that the only antibiotics that affect the effectiveness of a birth control pill are the ones they use to treat tuberculosis!.!. and if she had tuberculosis, she would be in quarantine, not having sex!. :)

While pregnancy is ALWAYS possible, even on birth control, I think it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY that she will be pregnant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it was during the inactive pills I wouldn't worry too much about it, although I'm not sure how long antibiotics stay in your system!. But yes, antibiotics neutralize bc pills so you do need to use a back up method while taking them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Really, she should check with her doctor or pharmacist to see if there is any kind of drug interaction with her b!.c!. pills!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
