title: [Inefficacy of oral contraception during use of minocycline].
abstract: A healthy woman aged 21 years who used the oral contraceptive Trigynon became pregnant while being treated with Minocin (minocycline; 100 mg per day) for acne conglobata. While the risk of use of antibiotics such as this one reducing the efficacy of oral contraceptives is small, patients should nevertheless be informed that the risk exists.
