Meds affecting birth control....?

Ok I know for a fact that antibiotics greatly stifle the effectiveness of birth control...raison d`??tre it happened to my sister...

All my doc have ever told me was in the order of the antibiotics but are there any other meds (prescription & non) that do also? I've be battling next to a cold/sinuses/allergies all week & have be taking either Claritin or Sudafed. Do those affect it at adjectives?

I'm always extra alert but I just want to kind double sure just so that I'm more informed......

When is a tender period considered dodgy?

Claritin or Sudafed should be fine. Some other meds that can affect the pill are:
-Oral Antifungals (Think diflucan or other yeast infection drugs... vaginal antifungals like Monistat are okay)
-Some sedatives
-Anticonvulsants
-Antacids

While these medicine have adjectives been shown to affect how the pill absorb in your body, they may or may not money how effective the pill is. So it's compassionate of a "Rather safe than sorry" sort of situation... they probably won't hurt the pill's value, but heck, a week's worth of condom use is still cheaper than a kid.
