Does minocycline affect birth control

Answer 1

Study after study shows that the vast majority of antibiotics, including minocycline, do not change how well Birth Control works. Anecdotal evidence from prescribers mean many still recommend using a backup birth control method for a week after a course of antibiotics is done. However, nobody suggests that using minocycline long-term for acne has any effect on how well the birth control pill works.
