How Long Should I Leave The Contraceptive Pill After Stopping The Antibiotics And Before Having Unprotected Sex?
I take the contraceptive pill microgynon 30. I recently had to take a course of antibiotics for 7 days and mid way through the course got my period. I stopped taking my pill for 4 days (as usual) and then started as normal. How long should I leave it after the antibiotics have stopped before having unprotected sex?

Hi,
As long as you have started contraceptive pills, you can have unprotected sex. Antibiotics won't have that interaction with the contraceptive effect of the pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
