A member asked:

Does metronidazole affect nuvaring ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metronidazole: Metronidazole (Flagyl) does not affect Nuvaring with regard to birth control. Nuvaring has both a progesterone and an estrogen component, and the hormones are absorbed through the vaginal mucus layer into the blood stream.
