Effect of tetracyclines on contraceptive pills

What is the effect of tetracyclines on combined oral contraceptive pills?

Tetracyclines like doxycycline, mini cycling etc can affect the function of combined oral contraceptive pills by affecting the absorption of hormones especially oestogen component.
So, during the usage of tetracyclines, additional contraceptive measures like condoms are advised.
Take care.
