Antibiotics such as cefdinir may reduce the effects of ethinyl estradiol in some women. If you are using ethinyl estradiol for birth control, you may be at increased risk for pregnancy or breakthrough bleeding. Talk to your healthcare provider to determine if you should use an alternative or additional form of birth control during treatment with cefdinir. In addition, some birth control preparations may include "placebo" non-hormonal pills that contain iron. If you are taking these iron pills during treatment with cefdinir, you should separate the dosing times by at least two hours so that the iron does not interfere with absorption of the antibiotic.
