Does Ciprofloxacin Reduce The Effectiveness Of Nexplanon?
Question: Can you get pregnant while taking ciprofloxacin while you have a nexplinon implant because my fiance thinks she is because a pregnancy test came back positive
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Some antibiotics so interfere with the efficacy of birth control pills, however ciprofloxacin is not one of them.
However the Nexplanon does have a theoretically small failure rate.
So pregnancy is possible while on it.
All the best
