I was just perscribed antibiotics today. I have two active pills left before my "placebos". How long do I have to be careful and use a backup method if at all since it is this late in my cycle?
Thank you everyone. Thank you for the suggestion, Sailor's Wife, I did call the pharmacist and they told me that they brand of antibiotics I am on, AveloxAvelox Avelox i.v., do not interfere with the pill in case anybody wanted to know. Have a good weekend everybody!
The only antibiotic that has been shown to actually interfere with the pill is rifampin. Anyone who gets pregnant while on the pill and taking antibiotics would have gotten pregnant anyway (the pill isn't 100% effective).
