Q: Contaception And Antibiotics

asked by: snowdog on August 22nd, 2006

I am currently on triphasil. I was given a 3 day course of antibiotics. The doctor told me that I should take the antibiotics early in the morning so as to minimize the effect on my triphasil( I take my triphasil everyday at 16:00). I have continued taking my triphasil everyday. How long will I have to use other forms of contraception? Must I wait until my monthly period comes or will the triphasil regain effectiveness 7 days after stopping the antibiotics? :?:

Yes, it will regain effectiveness after 7 days of using it when you are not on the antibiotics. =)
