I’ve been taking birthcontrol regularly for 4 years. I had unprotected sex last night and started antibiotics this morning. Will my birthcontrol still be effective or should I be considering Plan B?

Yes, your birth control pills will still be active. The antibiotic has not been in your body long enough to alter the effectiveness of your birth control. However, remember to either abstain from intercourse or use a back up method, like a condom, for the remainder of the time you are on the antibiotics and for 7 days after the completion of the antibiotic.
