A member asked:

Can antibiotics (cefaclor) interfere with ivf medications during an artificial cycle?

Dr. Michael Traub answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Not likely: antibiotics can affect the absorption of medicines. that is true. but the medicines in IVF are usually given in a dose that any antibiotics should not affect their metabolism. many women take antibiotics for different reasons during IVF

Dr Hickerson and another doctor agreed
