Contraceptive to be avoided in epilepsy :
Correct Answer: OCP
Description: Rifampicin, an antibiotic prescribed for a tubercular patient, reduces the absorption of the pill; hence, it is contraindicated in a tubercular patient on rifampicin. Other drugs interfering with OC are tetracycline and anticonvulsants, antifungal, cephalosporin and phenobarb. Ritonavir for HIV also interferes with absorption of OC.
