i have had reoccuring sinus infections the last 4 months so my mom's natural minded pharmacist put me on some herbal supplements to get rid of this one, rather than doing the anitbiotics thing again b/c i'm getting married in 5 weeks.
So, he put me on "antifungal tannins" (called tanalbit), a probiotic supplement (lots of mircroorganisms that i injest) and a mold mix to help with allergies (this has very diluted forms of molds).
my questions--will this hurt the efficency of my pills? i do not want a pregnancy as my honeymoon souvenir, but my fiance does not want to use condoms then either. i know that antifungal meds usually decrease the pills effectiveness, but will this tannins thing hurt it? and you get bacteria from yogurt, so is taking more by pill going to hurt liver function in a way to decrease the pills use?
please help. thank you!!

ps--if anyone knows of any other back up methods that are more conveninent than condoms, please let me know.

That's a good question...I would ask your pharmacist.
