Loestrin24Fe and AMOXICILLIN/CLAV

by ShelbyLynne33, May 22, 2009 10:35PM
I had to take an antibiotic called AMOXICILLIN/CLAV and I'm on birth control pills called, Loestrin24Fe.  I just finished the antibiotic May 19th.  I'm going to my boyfriends on June 3rd for 34 days and I need to know how long it'll take for the birth control pills to have full affect again.  I've tried to look it up but I can't find anything and I saw a few people say 2 weeks, 1 week and I'm just not sure. I called the pharmacy up town and the lady didn't even come close to answering my question.  But I'd really appreciate it if I could get an asnwer ASAP please.

I've been on several different birth controls and every pack I took said what seven days before the person have sex.  "I" think you would be fine because I was in the same situation once and I did the same.  If you dont are not to comfy with the advice I gave make sure u use a back up method to be on the safe side

antiobiotics basically renders birth control ineffective. and even though you might be done your antibiotics.....it messes up your birth control and it takes a few cycles for birth control to take effect and idk...i just wouldnt want to risk it i would use condoms and continue to take birth control...becuase i would think you still need to stat taking it awhile and it wouldnt have even been a month since you stopped taking your antibiotic. use condoms
