anti-biotics and back up
| Mon, 05-10-2004 - 2:12pm |
Hi,
I am on OTC, and I know that when I'm on anti-biotics I need to use condoms as well. I started my anti-biotics with 3 days left of my inactive pills. I will be on anti-biotics through the entire first week of active pills. My question is, do I need to use condoms for this entire month? I can't remember the "rules" and I just want to be safe.
Thanks!

The rule is to use back-up while taking your ABs and for at least 7 days after the last dose. That would put you at the beginning of your 3rd week of actives. If I were you I’d probably continue back-up during the last week of actives, but that’s just me. Hope you are feeling better.
Good luck
Jill
