Does penicillin affect the IUD

Answer 1

Amoxicillin (and other penicillin antibiotics) have been cleared of their anti-Birth Control effects. As it turns out, the research that made the claims are 20 years old, and flawed.

I lost a couple of the links, but the gist of it is: studies have shown that only a few specialized antibiotics effect the amount of BC in the bloodstream.

With that said, always use a second form of birth control, as diarrhea is a common side effect of Antibiotics and that CAN effect the pill. Plus, better safe then pregnant.

Answer 2

According to this paper that I found (after searching for ages!), using analgesics, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants have no statistically signficant correlation with IUD failure.

So no, using antibiotics shouldn't cause the IUD to lose its effectiveness.
Antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of birth control. Talk with your doctor before they prescribes you any medicine to see how it will react with your birth control.
No, that is only with the pill. You are fine.

Answer 4

No. Amoxicillin will not interact poorly with the Mirena IUD. There are medications that should not be taken, so be sure to tell a doctor about the IUD before getting a prescription.

Answer 5

There are no known drug interactions between cephalexin and the IUD.

Answer 6

There are no known drug interactions between penicillin and the hormonal or copper IUD. Antibiotics do not affect IUDs.

Answer 7

Amoxicillin does not affect the contraceptive implant.
