How long after you are off the antibiotic
should you be using backup before the bc
will be effective again?

I'm not sure; perhaps some of the other
women on here know?
You can also use the button above that
says "Ask a doctor!" when one is online

I was always under the impression that you
need to use a backup method for seven days
from the last day of your antibiotic
cycle. If you happen to go off of the
antibiotics during your placebo week you
should use a backup method for the first
seven active days of you next pack of
birth control. I may be wrong so don't
quote me, i just think its better to be
safe than sorry.

days.

I waited a month for it all to wash out my
system...Cuz you don't want to be too
cautious..Becaue your usually on them for
10 days so 3 wks after the last would be
cool...good luck..
