Despite their widespread use, concerns among clinicians persist about potential drug\u2013drug interactions between antibiotics and COCs. This systematic review evaluates existing literature on the interaction between antibiotics and COC efficacy, offering guidance for clinicians in managing the use of contraception alongside antibiotics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Utilizing Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Clinical Trials.gov, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, focusing on studies published from 2000 to 2024.
