My friend just started the pill but her packet looks different from my own and she’s wondering if it’s okay to take these on her antibiotics (She takes them every 12 hours), any advice??

Question

Answer

She should call her doctor or at the very least a pharmacist. It depends on what type of pill, what type of antibiotic, what her condition is, and any other medications she is on.

Answer

If her doctor didn’t say anything about not taking the pills while on antibiotics, then she should take them as normal. Also, most commonly used antibiotics don’t actually affect birth control. But, if she wants to play it safe, then she can either use condoms or abstain until she’s been off the antibiotics for 7 days.

Answer

Very few antibiotics interfere with the pill.

Answer

She’ll need to ask her doctor. You can take your birth control with antibiotics but some antibiotics will decrease the chances of your birth control working.
I believe there are only a few antibiotics that decreases the chances. So she just need to speak to her doctor about it

Answer

Not all birth control pills are going to look the same. Her packet is fine.
