A member asked:
Does the antibiotic ciprofloxacin interact with birth control pills such as tri-sprintec?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can: Ciprofloxin can reduce the effects of estrogen and cause breakthrough bleeding but the progestin is what is providing the contraception and estrogen is only in the pills to regulate your periods so there should not be a loss of protection against pregnancy. Hope this helps.
