A member asked:
I was on antibiotics for 3 days can it effect my nuva ring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: A large study in europe in 2005 showed no drop in hormone levels in women using NuvaRing and Ampicillin or doxycycline. Therefore no backup contraception is recommended with its use. Check with your gyn to be sure that is the case in your instance.
