When you're on birth control and take antibiotics i know that it makes the effectiveness of b/c weak or doesnt work at all...I was just wondering for how long does it make it not work..or when will my b/c be effective again..
Birth control question?
I am on the pill and I wait until my next cycle of pills starts. I think you are to wait a week after the medication but not sure.
Reply:You are supposed to use backup for 7 days after taking antibiotics.
Reply:As long as you are taking antibiotics your birth control will be affected. Antibiotics usually clear out from your system after not taking them for a few days - in the mean time use condoms!
Reply:You will need to re-start with the counting for effectiveness once the antibiotics are finished. For example, if your pill takes 7 days to be effective, it will be 7 days from the day you finish your antibiotics.
