My gf has been on the depo for 1 month and a half now and she got a urinary tract infection....The doctor gave her levaquin and we had sex the first day she took it and again today which is 7 day into the med.
Levaquin is a 10 day med so my question is....Does levaquin affect the effectiveness of the depo? Meaning can she get preg?? :shock:

Antibiotics do not affect depo or other "progestin only methods" the same way they affect regular birth control.

She should still be well protected.

But it is always good to double check with her gyn doc.
