Nuva ring and antibiotics

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if on nuva ring you need to use backup when using antibiotics, because I know I did when i was on the pill. I tried searching for info on this, but got two contradicting answers; one article said that nuva ring is not effected by broad spectrum antiobiotics and the other said to use backup while using antibiotics.

I know the safe thing to do is use backup, but I am interested to know if antibiotics really decrease nuva ring effectiveness.

Thanks
Kristen
