A member asked:
Can you tell me more about my birthcontrol and antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid intercourse : If you are on oral contraceptives and given a prescription for antibiotics it would be wise to use condoms or avoid intercourse until you finish the antibiotics. I would suggest that you wait a couple days after completing the antibiotics to make sure they are out of your system. Many antibiotics decrease the efficacy of oral contraceptives.
