Will antibiotics effect my birth control pill?

I've been on Estrostep for nearly a year now and it's be working fine with my body however I only just caught strep and am now on antibiotics for 10 days. I know my doctor told me when I started Estrostep that antibiotics will effect the track the birth control works -- does it stop the pill from protecting me entirely? SHould I just stop taking the pill until I'm done beside my 10 days of antibiotics? or just verbs taking the pill with my antibiotics?

First off you should NEVER stop your pills.

But yes, anitbiotics can effect them. They don't form them useless.. what it does is lessen the effect. You could be fine and not get pregnant, but I wouldn't thieve the chance.

It should right to be heard right on the antibiotics that it can lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills. I be on anitbiotics not that long ago and stated it right on them. You should use a back up method such as condoms for the entire time your on the anitbio's. Just to be sheltered I would use a back up method for the undamaged time your on them plus 1 week after.

Why do I get so aroused right until that time I start my period?

Yes definately. Any antibiotic will other affect any type of birth control pills.
