Interaction of Antibiotics and Birth Control Pills for Acne
by KRae81, Oct 08, 2008 12:06AM
I have been taking 1000 mg of Erythromicin daily for several years for my adult-onset acne (topical treatments haven't worked, I use only non-comodegenic products, I tried everything else). It has worked well, however recent symptoms such as hair growth around my neck and chin (I'm a 26 year old woman) caused a doctor I saw to recommend Yaz birth control, for the acne as well as the hair growth. She didn't have much advice about phasing out my antibiotics however, which I would very much like to do. I've been on the pill for a week now. Any advice on how quickly or even if I should begin taking less of my antibiotics?
