A member asked:
I take combination b.c pills. i used acne antibiotics for about 4 days and had sex without a condom 2 weeks after. should i take plan b to be safe ?

Antibiotics/BCPs: Without knowing which antibiotics you took it is impossible to answer this, but most antibiotics do not interfere with bcps. Plan b would provide increased safety and always better safe than sorry.
