Sprintec And Levaquin - ok for sex when done with the pill?

How long do you have to wait to have sex on Levaquin while taking Sprintec birth control. Are you okay once you are done with the pill?

If it is a drug that interferes with your birth control then you should give it a whole week from the last day you took it to clear out of your system.

Well then trust your doctor! If you knew the answer then why post?

My answer was the safe, educated guess. I do not know what Levaquin is or how it interacts; for most medications a one week wait is the maximum that is needed. If your doctor said you'd be fine a day later, then believe them. Or use a condom for a few days. Either choice is yours...

Zithromax is the only antibiotic you shoud wait a week after taking the last pill. All other antibiotics should not make a difference with you bc 24 hours of taking the last pill. I would make sure to wait 24 hours of the last pill to make sure it is out of your system. Hope this helps!
