On Birth Control And Azithromycin For Strep. Could Antibiotics Negate The Effects Of Birth Control?
I was taking azithromycin for strep earlier last week. I am also on the implanon birth control and It s due for removal tomorrow. Could the antibiotics negate the birth control? Because I started heavily bleeding a couple days ago. Could I get pregnant with all of this occurring at once?

Antibiotics dont negatevthe effect of birth control especially if you are taking them short term...nothing to worry. ...although few medicine have effect on the metabolism and they r known to cause effect on other medicines but there is no strong drug interactions between azithromycin tsken for short periods and birth control ...provided that you are not skipping your pills
