antibiotics - backup for how long?
| Fri, 08-18-2006 - 9:36am |
Hi all,
I had my wisdom teeth removed and am currently on antibiotics. My last day of antibiotics will be Monday and I will be on the second week of my pack (Ortho Tri-Cyclen). I know I'm supposed to use backup, but how long after I finish taking the antibiotics should I used them for? 7 days, until the end of my pack, or until 7 days on a new pack?
Thanks!

HI there,
i am also on ortho tri cycline lo. My derm just switched me to it and also put me on amoxicillian. I asked her about the AB decreasing the BC absorption and she told me that they have done studies and it shows that AB don't decrease the absoption of your BC. FYI
