Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was just wondering, I have been on Loestrin 24 FE for about two almost three years now, unfortunately the other day I developed a UTI and was put on antibiotics. I know it effects my pills, but to what extent and if anything arises would it be problematic to attempt intercourse?
Thanks for your query at HCM! I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!
Loestrin 24 Fe you are taking for contraception to prevent pregnancy. It must be stopped if major kidney problems. Yes antibiotics do effect the efficacy of your pills so as to pose a threat of pregnancy. You may use back up birth control like condoms to protect your partner from infection as well as to avoid pregnancy till you are on antibiotics.
Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query. Take care! Dr. Sheetal Verma Infectious Disease Specialist
