A member asked:
I am on alesse for birth control andclindamycin for developing strep throat. after two days of finishing the antibio is safe to have unprotected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: in general may decrease hormonal contraceptives efficacy, although not proven for clindamycin, and you are already off the antibiotic for two days, which means it is technically out of your system, I'd be cautious for this round, use protection till next cycle,
