Can Plan B Be Taken Along With Phenazopyridine 200mg And Cephalexin 500mg?

Hello, I took a plan B pill on Saturday night. On Monday I went to the hospital due to a bladder infection. I got prescribed phenazopyridrine 200mg and cephalexin 500mg. I started taking the pills on Monday. Is there side effects to mixing the plan B medication with these antibiotics?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Since you have taken Plan B 48 hours before taking antibiotics, the interaction seems to be unlikely as it would already been metabolised.
Hence, there wouldn't be experience of any untoward side effects.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
