I have started taking qlaira tablets on 6.1.2021. about a week into taking them i started cefuroxim 500mg bd for 10 days and tomorrow is last dose (16th day of taking qlaira). for how long after antibiotic is finished should i take extra protection?

Hard to say: Probably best to use extra protection with intercourse until your period begins, & when your new pill cycle begins, you will likely be protected since you will have been off the cefuroxime antibiotic for a while by then.
