My doctor suggested that this only be used when you really need to, otherwise it can totally screw up your hormones.
The BTC pill is also beneficial for women to help prevent against osteoporosis if you're not generating the right amount of hormones.
And yes, if you take anti-biotics (in general) the birth control pill is not going to be effective as a contraceptive. You should really check with your doctor whenever you go on ANY other kind of medication, cos it's not just anti-biotics that can have a 'neutralising' effect.
