'Ask Dr. Mona': Antibiotics and birth control? I've read in some places about antibiotics making birth control ineffective.
I've found a few places where it said that that isn't true, but is it? I was put on a medicine I'm pretty sure is metronidazole for bc, which is an antibiotic. I'm sexually active, so I'm wondering if this will cause my birth control not to work.

Check out this video for Dr. Mona's answer!
