Birth ontrol pills may not work as well while you are using Penicillin-VK . To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).
Could. I would use protection for a few days just in case. Some antibiotics do affect the pills effectiveness so it is better to be safe than sorry.
Penicillin does not affect birth control.
Yes it may. I have recently read that obesity can affect the effectiveness of birth control.
Yes! Any penicillin derived antibody negates the effectiveness of your birth control pills. These warnings are printed right on the label. PLEASE read your drug info prior to taking it!
It should be ok.
A large number of antibiotics can lessen the effects of the pill, however there is no concrete evidence that they effect everyone in this way and it is important to remember that every body is different. But on the whole, antibiotics such as penicillin, amoxycillin, metronidazole, ofloxacin, etc have been found to decrease the effectiveness of birth control. Some antibiotics, like fluconazole and trimethoprim have no effect on it.
Study after study shows no effect on contraceptive effectiveness from taking penicillin. Anecdotal reports from health care providers mean many still give the advice of using a backup method for a week after you finish a short course of antibiotics.
No Singulair (montelukast) has no effect on birth control pill. It can be taken at the same moment (or in the same day) regularly.
X-rays do not lower the effectiveness of the birth control pill.
Doctors will know that you are on birth control when you tell them. It is wise to tell your doctor that you are birth control, as it is wise to tell them that you are taking any other medications as well. By telling your doctor that you are on birth control it will help when you need treatment or need to take any other medications such as antibiotics(penicillin, amoxicillin), because there are medications that can lower the effectiveness of your birth control.
No, using two methods of birth control increases effectiveness or leaves effectiveness unchanged.
While a few antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, they don't have any significant effect on whether or not you get pregnant if you are not on the pill.
I have also wondered this question and with the research that I have done, it says that neither affects the effectiveness of birth control pills
