 If she hasn't mentioned anything then ask your doctor on monday if it messes with your pill.
Better to be safe than sorry.
If you are still having your periods on your 7 days break then you shouldn't be pregnant.

You could be pregnant.
I would go back to your doctor and ask if the antibiotics can effect your pill.
If your doctor says they can then ask him to do a pregancy test on you.
Good luck

Yes you could very well be pregnant.
The pharmacist AND the doctor should have warned you about that.
It says you are 18 - 21 years. But since you mention you being young, is that not right?
If you are underage then they may have assumed you are not having sex and didn't think to warn you.
Go and get a pregnancy test and write a very snotty letter of complaint to the GP and chemist.
Good Luck!! xx

 Yes, some antibiotics completely cancel out the intended affects of the pill.
Your pharmacists will be the one to know whether or not this particular antibiotic can or will do so.
Always tell your doctor that you are on birth control, even if it's your dentist. Any doctor prescribing medication needs to know what you are currently on so they don't harm you by prescribing something dangerous to take in addition.
Call your pharmacist who filled your prescription, or go to a local one and ask.
