Birth control pills and taking the z-pack.?

I'm on birth control pills(ortho tri-cyclen lo) and taking the z-pack for strep throat. Do I need to use other Contriceptives and for how long? I hear somewhere that the z-pack lasts for 10 days even though in attendance are only 5 days of pills. Does anyone know whats really true?

Answers:    Yes, antibiotics lessen the usefulness of birth control. Use condoms for now. Check near your doctor, or your pharmacist, to see how long you need to use condoms until your birth control is working resourcefully again.
Yes you should use other forms of contraception. I'm not sure EXACTLY how long, but I would do it for a month, just to be on the past the worst side. And yes, the Z-pak stays in your system longer than 5 days as it's still working even when you're through near the pills.
