Is It Possible To Get Pregnant While Taking Tetralysal?
is it possible to get pregnant while taking tetralysal? I have the coil but my doctor told me it would not work with this acne medicine for three weeks. I have two days to go before completeing the three weeks. Could I get pregnant if I and my husband have done something?

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
If you have the coil, there is no reason that it would not be effective while taking an antibiotic. The interaction between antibiotics and birth control refer to oral contraceptives only (pills). The hormonal coil only delivers hormones to your reproductive organs, so it would not interact at all with any pills you are taking.
So in summary, you are still protected from pregnancy with the coil, so you do not have to worry about any additional protection from pregnancy.
I hope this information was helpful and best wishes,
Dr. Brown
