A member asked:
How long must you wait to have sex after taking an antibiotic (bactrim) while on the depo-provera birth control shot ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No wait time: Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) does not interfere with the drug in Depo-Provera so no wait time is necessary. You presumably have some infection which may be causing you some discomfort and for that reason you should restrain your activities until you're feeling better.
