    The pill and antibiotics

    This seems like a really stupid question but I will ask anyway.

    I'm currently on Yaz, which I take religiously. However I'm also constantly on antibiotics due to various other health issues.

    My question is, do antibiotics make the pill completely ineffective or just less effective?

    Thanks.

    it depends on the pill and on the antibiotic. Worth asking your pharmacist but I would be taking extra precautions just in case.
