After antibiotic cipro (ciprofloxacin) should i wait 7 days for sex or wait until after 7 active birth control pills. because i am on my period pills.

Wait for antibiotics: Wait until you are back on your active birth control pills for at least a week. Many sources recommend an alternate or additional source of contraception (ie. condom) for a MONTH after finishing antibiotics for optimal protection. Thanks for a great question.
