You generally do not need to wait after taking antibiotics to have a smear test. Antibiotics do not affect the results of the test. However, if you were prescribed antibiotics for a specific infection affecting the genital area, it may be wise to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice. Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding timing for any medical tests.

How long does the effectiveness of birth control last when taking antibiotics?
The effectiveness of birth control may be reduced when taking antibiotics, so it is recommended to use a backup method of contraception during antibiotic treatment and for at least one week after finishing the antibiotics.
Are antibiotics pain killers?
NO. They are antibiotics. anti = against; and bio = life. Therefore antibiotics kill bacteria etc. (Indirectly, antibiotics may contribute to pain relief if the pain is caused by the types of infection resulting from those germs which antibiotics kill. However, antibiotics should never be taken as a direct painkiller. Rather, one should take them to fight germs when one has become infected; but only after ascertaining that antibiotics are needed and will help. A doctor should be consulted. Taking antibiotics for too long, or when not needed, can have unwanted consequences.)
