Affect of Zpack on Lo Loestrin Fe
hi! i'm on lo loestrin fe and on the second week of my birth control pack. I have a sinus infection and started taking azythromycin (zpack) today. Will the zpack affect the effectiveness of my birth control? Do you think i'll be okay if I have unprotected sex but use the pull-out method?

Hello,
Antibiotics can effect the birth control pills efficacy and since you have recently started them , you should use additional contraception like condoms to prevent pregnancy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Been there done that and I got pregnant! Use another form of protection along with your pill whenever you are on antibiotics.
