It should say in the leaflet that came with your contraception whether antibiotics mess it up!.
Definitely use a condom while you're on the antibiotics, and for 2 weeks after you come off the antibiotics!.
Tell your dentist you're on the pill, and see what he/she says!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a 50/50 chance!. With my personal exp!. It did affect my birth control and i didn't realize it until a month later and i was pregnant!. The antibiotic decreases the affect of the birth control!. To be on the safe side talk to your Dr!. Best of luck and take careWww@Answer-Health@Com
