Posted: 04-07-07 21:10pm

I was wondering, i'm going to start my 2nd pack of pills on sunday, since i'm on the 2nd pack, am i protected right away? or do i also have to wait 7 days again until they come into effect?

Also, i'm taking antibiotics right now for a uti Sad will it affect the effects of the pill? I hear this a lot so i was wondering if i should becareful.

You need to use back-up while you are on the antibiotic, and for 7 full days after you stop, then you will be protected again.

NORMALLY for the second pack you do not need to wait, but because of your antibiotics, it decreases the effectiveness of the pill.
