Q: hi doctor, does the vaginal suppository (prometrium 100mg) effects strep b results? does the vaginal suppository cause false negative for strep b? thank you, sweety?

: Prometrium is progesterone, a hormone and does not affect Strep B testing. An antibiotic, on the other hand, can cause a test to be falsely negative, depending on the antibiotic. Please discuss this with your ob/gyn if you are still concerned.
