A member asked:

If on an antibiotic for uti and have menstrual cycle 4 days after done with antibiotic and taking tricyclen bc are you safe from getting pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The only antibiotic that has been shown to decrease effectivness of birth control pill is rifampin, which i doubt is an antibiotic that you are on as it's rarely used, and definitely isn't an antibiotic for uti. No worries, just keep taking your pill as normal. Best wishes.
