Hi,
I have been sick since Friday night, no vomiting but chills, body aches, severe headache and a really bad sore throat which is worse now but I am taking over the counter pills such as Aleve headache and sinus, Cepacol sore throat lozenges, Nyquil nighttime (at night) and Nyquil daytime (of course during the day). Anyhow, I wonder if these meds would be considered antibiotics and do they lower the effectiveness of the pill. I am not in any danger as I have not had IC in over one month but I was just wondering if I was should I be using backup methods during and 7 days after I stop the meds? I would be grateful for any insight. Thank you so much for your help.

I hope you are feeling much better soon! None of the things you listed will reduce the effectiveness of your OCs.
Hugs,
Jill
