They activate enzymes that metabolize the hormones in birth control pills. Essentially, the hormones are broken down so fast that they don't work on you. Whether or not it will inactivate the first pills of your next pack depends on how long you will be taking the macrobid. By no means do you want to stop taking the macrobid early, you need to finish all those pills. But you should consider using back up birth control (such as condoms) until you are finished with the macrobid. Hope this helps! Yes, most antibiotics interfere with birth control pills.
