minus-squareLemisset@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI learned in college (from my nurse girlfriend) that if a girl is taking antibiotics that it invalidates her birth control pills for the month and you need to use condoms until after her period. Spread the word, brothers.
minus-squareBreadOven@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoThat’s not really true. Sure it’s true for rifampicin and rifabutin (and maybe one more similar one). But those are used to treat TB. All the standard ones you’d take are fine for birth control. Edit: Thanks to some people who are more knowledgeable than me on the topic, there are some others, or secondary effects you should consider. Moral of the story: if in doubt ALWAYS use more contraception. Best to be safe out there.
