Q: does cefixime antibiotic affect oral contraception when taken after two days of oral contraception?

: Antibiotics of any kind should not be taken within 2 hours of the oral contraceptive pill due to selective absorption by the stomach. Prioritize your oral contraceptive by taking it first, then waiting the necessary time to take the antibiotic.
