We can't tell you which antibiotics interfere with birth control, so you need to call your pharmacist or doctor and ask.

I have been on the same birth control in the past. Every time I was prescribed antibiotics I was told to use a back up method (condoms) Until seven days after I had finished the antibiotics. It is more of a better safe than sorry deal. Especially because that brand of pills is a low dose. If you have any questions then you should contact your doctor or pharmacist.
