I have a urinary trach infection and they gave me antibiotics for it, the one antibiotic says it may decrease effectiveness of the pill. I am not on the pill, but i am on Depo, the shot. i am just going to assume that it will have the same effect on the shot and not have sex. But does anyone know for sure if it effects the shot the same as the pill... and mainly, when you are on birth control and taking antibiotics, how long do you hafto wait until it is effective again? just thought some of you may have been in similar situations since UTI's are common.
I havent' been on antibiotics since I started on the shot, but I'm 99% sure that antibiotics do not affect the effectiveness of depo. Because it's not ingested, it isn't affected by antibiotics (or at least, I think that's why they don't affect each other)
I got pregnant taking antibiotics while I was on birth control pills-just don't have sex. Well you shouldn't be having sex if you have a uti anyway.
