It may be slightly less effective because it will be less well absorbed due to the change in intestinal bacterial flora. I think the morning after pill will be less changed by antibiotics than the daily *pill* since it is a very high dose. Anyway, it's worth a shot to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Buy her Plan B & a pack of condoms so she's not in a fix again.

Antibiotics can affect the metabolisation of the hormones, so it may not be absorbed - it depends on the type of antibiotics though.
Definitely talk to the dispensing pharmacist or your doctor!

Check with the local pharmacist. It depends on the antibiotic.

I think that's definitely a question that needs to be asked of the prescribing doctor or the dispensing pharmacist.
However, I would imagine that it would still be as effective in evacuating the uterus (since that's what it does ... it DOES NOT KILL the fetus - it only makes the uterus uninhabitable to a POTENTIALLY fertilized egg!!!)

Is that the pill that kills unborn children?
