Will Antibiotics Cancel The Effect Of Contraceptive?
Hello! I would like to know if its true that antibiotics cancel out contraceptives. I recently had a baby by c-section and used Petogen as a contraceptives but my operation would became a bit septic and I was given erthromycin to help with the wound. So my question is, could it be possible that the antibiotic cancelled out the contraceptive?
