Can birth control pills make antibiotics not work?

I know that antibiotics can make birth control pills not work... but what about vice versa??

No. It doesn't work that way. The reason that antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of the pill has to do with how the body absorbs the pill but, the antibiotics are absorbed differently and are not effected by the pill.

no its the opposite ...antibiotics make birth control less effective so make sure you use another form of birthcontrol (condoms) if you dont already while you are taking the antibiotic
