I just started Loestrin birth control about two weeks ago. Will taking Minocycline and Benzaclin acne medication interfere and reduce the pill’s effectiveness?

Yes the minocycline can lower the effectiveness of the birth control. I don’t know of any antibiotic that does not. Benzaclin is a topical medication and is not absorbed into the blood stream so you have nothing to worry about for that one.
I’ve had severe acne myself, try looking for more information on any acne website, like this one for example:http://AcneTreat.net
You’ll find some great info there, hope you can get rid of them quickly.
