Answers:
The pill is effective while you are on the antibiotics but the antibiotics LOWER it's effectiveness which is why they tell you to use backup protection. You didn't mention what the name of your antibiotic was but you said 5 days so I would assume you are taking z-pack which is the only 5 day one I know of right now. If you take z-pack you need to use protection yet for at leat another week as this med keeps working even after you finish the tablets.
