I had to take an antibiotic called AMOXICILLINAmoxicillin Amoxicillin-clavulanate Amoxicillin/clarithromycin/lansoprazole/CLAV and I'm on birth controlControl Control rx 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 controlControl Control rx 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.
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
