Resolved question:
Hi - I have poly cystic ovaries and have recently got a lot of acne. My dermatologist has prescribed an antibiotic (monocycline) - I wanted to check it I can continue having oral contraceptives with this antibiotic
Many thanks

Hello
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Minocycline will reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives.
You should use a backup method this month, if you plan to remain sexually active.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
