Will Antibiotics Reduce Effectiveness Of Emergency Contraceptive?
My boyfriend and I were having intercourse and the condom broke. So just to be safe, I took the Next Choice emergency contraceptive. But I was also taking 500mg penicillin 2 times a day because I had strep throat. Could the antibiotics have any effect on the Next Choice?
