A member asked:
Will taking nitrofurantoin interfere with microgynon contraceptive pill - will it increase the chances of pregnancy? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimally: It is recommended to use extra protection (condoms for example) when on any antibiotics as the effectiveness of the birth control can be minimally effected, but even "minimally" can cause pregnancy in some people. Best wishes.
