Does my Rx affect my BC?

Question

I'm taking fluticasone propionate which is basically a prescription nasal spray and an antibiotic (amoxicillin) how and will this affect my birth control?

Answer

I was on amoxicillin a couple weeks ago and ended up having my period because it completely wiped the birth controls effectiveness, however I'm on a very low dose birth control (Lolo) so this could also play a factor. Always use extra protection when you're on antibiotics though!

Answer

Nasal spray won't do anything but the antibiotic decreases the effectiveness. So wait like 3-4 days after stopping the antibiotic to have (unprotected) sex. Or just use other means of protection during that time!
