Is There Any Need For Extra Contraception While On Trimethoprim?

Hi i've just finished a course of trimethoprim. I started taking it whilst on my 7 day break from microgynon 30. I finished the course at the same time as starting a new pack and have been back on the pill for 3 days. Do i need to use extra contraception?
