A member asked:
I take falmina birth control will taking ciprofloxacin 2 times a day affect the quality/efficiency of birth control?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Some antibiotics do affect the efficacy of oral hormonal birth control, but Ciprofloxacin isn't one of them.

It might.: I would suggest using condoms as a back up, only while taking the cipro (ciprofloxacin).
