What Antiobiotics Have Effects On B.c. Posted: 05-25-04 00:11am
I know I spoke to my Dr. About
antiobiotics & b.Control & she
ensured me that it was only a select few
that were proven to cancel out b.Control.
I was on antiob. For 7 days for a
bladder inf. And about 3 weeks after I
had finished the medication, I had
unprotected sex. I was on my period at
the time but had since stopped bleeding
all together. Now I am wondering if the
med I was on had an effect on my b.C.
Even though it was my 'pill-free'
week.....Any one had a similiar situation
that could lend some help in easing my
mind of possibly being pg?

Hi tiff,
i would not worry to much.
Firstly my doctor told me it not a really
big concern to take anti-biotics with the
pill, the reason they say it can is
because when taking anti-biotics it can
upset the natural balance in your stomach
may affect you digestion/absorbtion of the
pill. (at least this is what my doc
says)
secondly they usually say use protection
for 7 days after you've finished your
medication (just to be safe) since you say
it was three weeks i'd say you're pretty
much fine.
Dont worry to much, stressing out can make
your period delayed.
Let us know how it all works out.
Steph.

Hey steph:
thank you so much. Your insight has been
very helpful in easing my mind a bit. I
know that many drs have very different
points of view on this topic so it's nice
to know your Dr. Has given the same
advice on the combo of antiob. & b.C.
As my Dr. I think i'm fine.
Thanks again & have a good day!
Tiff

If its the pill free week, you have
nothing to worry about. Most women can't
get pregnant at all during this time
period.
