So in future cases if I am prescribed antibiotics mid cycle does this undo the pill I had already taken eg. If I start the antibiotics on day 13 does this undo the 13 days I took the pill for?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Loratadine, the drug you have taken, is not a antibiotic.
Most of the antibiotics do nullify the effect of the oral contraceptive pills, if taken midcycle.

Lorhistina is the brand name of loratadine.

Hi dear,
Lorhistina is the brand name of loratadine.
Pain is unlikely the effect of this drug.
Other causes of pain like colitis, gaseous distension, renal or gall bladder calculus should be ruled out by proper examination and ultrasound.
