Q: the Pill And Antibiotics

Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows how long you are meant to wait after using antibiotics with the pill to be fully protected? Is it one or two weeks? Thanks

Well antibiotics, no matter what the dose, brand or kind typically stay in your system for 10 days. I know because I am on a tri-pack right now and even after the 3rd antibiotic, it stays in your system for the next 4-10 days. So, don't let the tri-pack confuse you. Otherwise, you may be prescribed 10 antibiotic pills. I would wait a full 2 weeks just to be on the safe side.
