Antibiotics and the pill

[EmmaEden]

How long does it effect your pill? I've finished the course and I'm now on 7 day break (AF is here) will it effect me still when I start taking my pill Tuesday?

I was always told a week after finishing antibiotics but don't know whether it's the same for all types of pill

[scaevola]

It depends on which pill and which antibiotic.

If you have any doubts about whether contraceptive effect would have been affected, I suggest you follow the guidelines as if it has been affected, and then see if you can speak to a family planning nurse tomorrow.
