Default How long after intercourse should I wait until starting my antibiotics? - 12-14-2008, 02:14 PM

I am currently on a birth control pill. If I just recently had intercourse, how long do I need to wait before starting on antibiotics? I know that antibiotics negate birth control pills so will there be a chance of pregnancy if I take antibiotic pills the day after having intercourse?

No you can take them right away. Its not even a true proven fact that they cause BC pills to lessen their effect. To be on the safe side just use a condom while on the antibiotics as well. You can start taking them now!

3 days or take the morning after pill and then start on your antibiotics as soon as the doctor or pharmacist says you can.

Honestly, I'd ask your doctor or nurse. That's not something you want to mess up. Good luck!
