It doesn't matter. Take them together if you like. Remember to use condoms if you're sexually active because antibiotics lessen the ability of birth control pills to be effective.

As a side note, antibiotics do not contain a pain reliever, and therefore were not prescribed to deal with pain, but to lessen the chances of you developing an infection once the teeth are removed.

You want to be checking with your Dr that prescribed you the birth control pills about this, they will be glad to help and know the right answer for you just give them a call they will be glad to help answer your question..
