Hi all,
It's been a while since I've posted on here. You all are always so helpful.
I went to the doctor and found out I have a UTI. The doctor put me on an antiobiotic called Levaquin (Levofloxacin). I think I'm correct in assuming that not ALL antiobiotics intereact with birth control pills. I couldn't seem to find this one on the list. So, should I use back up? If so, for how long? I thought I remembered it being for the whole entire time I'm on the antiobiotic and then also for 7 days after. Is that right? Thanks for your help.

Hi estakia, welcome back!

Ok, so now I have another question. I will take my last few doses of antiobiotics while I'm on my placebo week of birth control pills. Does that mean that I still have to take 7 active pills into my next pack until I am able to have sex without a backup method? Or, will I be ok if I use backup for 7 days after my last dose of antiobiotics regardless of whether they are active pills or not? I don't know what to do......
We are always very careful anyway, I just want to know what you would recommend in my situation. Thanks!
