I'm on the antibiotic minocycline 50 mg once daily for my acne.i have unprotected sex almost daily.will this have an effect on my nexplanon implant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: The implant is very effective in preventing pregnancies and minocycline should not interfere with the contraceptive protection significantly.
