A member asked:
Will taking lactulose, colace and cipro (ciprofloxacin) clash with taking junel fe birth control? and if meds aren't working what should i do with these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cipro (ciprofloxacin) an issue: Antibiotics are known to sometimes affect the birth control function. Use secondary protection during your time on them. The other medications are for constipation and should not be a problem. Drink plenty of water and make sure you have lots of fiber in your diet - popcorn, veges, fortified cereal. May also consider adding Beneful to daily routine if dietary fiber hard to get.
