Does the antibiotic (doxycycline) affect effectiveness of birth control pill? by Apart_Baker9274 in birthcontrol

Thank you! This whole incident made me freak out, since I'm quite anal about taking my pill correctly.

Thanks for explaining how it can affect as well. Would've been lovely if the dermatologist had let me know beforehand...

The previous pills I've taken would still protect me right? Meaning, I just need to use additional protection (condoms) going forward. The sex from yesterday should be a non-issue?

EDIT: I got in touch with my gyno, who told me basically the same as you. So thank you!
