∙ 11y agoNo, antibiotics will not change the nausea, breast tenderness, or spotting that you may have on the birth control patch. These side effects usually go away after you've used the patch for three months. If they haven't, or if they're bothersome within the first three months, talk with your health care provider about changing to another method.
