I don't know about Prednisone, but antibiotics lowers the effectiveness of Birth Control pills. It is much easier to get pregnant on the pill if you are taking antibioitics. You need to use a back up method for sex while taking antibiotics. I'm not sure about Prednisone, but you should talk to your doctor and find out what effect it has on birth control.

YES! birth control and prednisone does not stop std's and not always pregnancy. if you are in a long term relationship and you both obviously know you have no ifections then it isn't uncommon to have sex without a condom. In this case still use a condom when first going onto birth control as it can mess up your monthly period and/or ovulation so a tiny slip up (if that's what you want to call it) may result in the patter of tiny feet... and you will be left saying "what happened? i was on the pill". This is also different for each individual so whereas the doctor may say it will take 2 weeks to settle when on the pill in reality it can be anything up to 6 months.

There has been some studies showing an interaction between the two medications, resulting in increase of prednisone in your body. This increase in prednisone may cause unwanted side effects such as fluid and electrolyte disturbances, hypertension, hyperglycemia, behavioral disturbances, psychiatric reactions. Talk to your doctor ASAP if you are experiencing any side effects since starting the drugs, especially if they are unbearable. Prednisone is a very effective drug and usually short-term in use. Therefore, the doctor may keep you on it for the short duration due to benefits outweigh the risks.

No, there is no drug interaction between prednisone and "birth control pill"... but the absorption might be reduced by your medical condition... I don't know the reason why you need prednisone.
