There is no such data. I believe that the probability of weakening of the antibiotic after 1 hour is very, very low.
Within an hour, has the antibiotic already weakened contraception?

There is some risk of reducing the effectiveness of birth control pills when taking antibiotics, including Duracef.
It is recommended to use additional protection throughout the course of antibiotic treatment and for 7 days after the end of antibiotic therapy.
The data indicate that the effectiveness of oral contraceptives is very rare, but the risk of pregnancy must be taken into account.
If in doubt, it is always a good idea to see a doctor or use a teleconsultation:
