Just be careful if you are on the Ortho for actual birth control. Since you are on antibiotics, the pill is less effective. You probably know that. If you're only on Ortho Tricyclen for the acne, then it won't matter. I was on Ortho Tri for 2-3 years and it didn't do much for me. However when I went on Tetracyclen (sp?) ...the antibiotic... with 10% benz. peroxide I totally cleared up. It sucked though because I need birth control. I also didn't like the idea of being on antibiotics forever since your body gets immune to them and they also kill all the good bacteria in your body as well as the bad. that's just me though
