A member asked:
Does antibiotics affect the mirena, like it does with other contraceptives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The few antibiotics that might interfere with BC might do so by interfering with absorption from the GI tract. Since the hormonal component of the minera is in the device & absorbed directly into the lining of the womb this does not occur. The IUD by itself, without its hormonal coating has some direct BC effect.
