Indicate whether the statement is true or false
T: Tetracyclines, as well as other antibiotics, interfere with the metabolism of oral contraceptives. Estrogen, a component in oral contraceptives, must be metabolized (broken down) to its active form in the stomach by bacteria. Most antibiotics kill or stop the growth of these bacteria, inhibiting estrogen breakdown. Patients must use other forms of birth control while taking tetracyclines.
