Question: Does Metronidazole stop the pill (microgynon 30) from working!? !?
Answers:
There is a very rare risk that the antibiotic can effect the efficacy of the contraceptive pill!. It is always best to be on the safe side, so use additional contraception for the entire time you are taking the antibiotic and for a full 7 days afterwards!.

If this runs into your pill free week, then skip your pill free week and start the next pack of pills immediately!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There has always been said to be a reduction of contraceptive efficacy with antibiotics combined with the pill!. Whilst here is some shaky evidence of this, the number of pregnancies worldwide even possibly associated with this is no more than a handful!.

Even the theoretical risk is lower with antibiotics of limited spectrum such as metronidazole and penicillin V!. However one has to say that extra precautions should be used, as this is the standard advice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's an antibiotic, antibiotics are suspected to decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills, it is recommended you use a back-up method (i!.e!., condom) for the rest of your current pack of pills to prevent pregnancy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
