I started taking camrese 2 days ago but didn't wait until i started my cycle. how long until i'm fully protected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 2 weeks.: You should be protected after 2 weeks, but I usually recommend to my patient ro use backup contraception the first month. Also remember that, while the pill will reduce your risk for pregnancy, it won't protect you against STDs.

Hi doctors! After the second Phfizer vaccine, are you completely protected exactly two weeks after the second, or should you wait a day or a few more days just to be on the safe side?
I take lisinopril/hctz 20/12.5 each morning and forgot to take it two days in a row. I realized that I missed the second dose this evening and took that dose around 8:30 pm. Should I take my next dose tomorrow mid morning or should I wait longer?
