THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

I read somewhere that they reduce the effectiveness of the pill - is that true?

It’s true. Generally, in these situations, your gynecologist will recommend double protection. Continue taking the pill but also use condoms for the duration of the antibiotic therapy. Remember that the condom is the only method that also protects you from sexually transmitted infections. This is especially important if you have relations with casual partners or multiple partners – don’t risk it!

What then? Is it risky to keep it longer?

You can't imagine how liberating it is to not have to remember to take the pill every day!

I imagine that being a hormone, it works like the progestin-only pill - is that true?

I don't tolerate estrogen, and I also don't want to take a pill every day.
