Good morning, using the Ginoring disc (this is my first month of use), I was given the antibiotic Teralysal to use for a month. The doctor told me not to worry about the effect of this antibiotic on contraception. Should I use additional security?

Due to the fact that the effect of antibiotics on hormonal contraception may vary, e.g. antibiotics may disturb the intestinal flora necessary to convert hormones from contraceptive pills or stimulate/block liver enzymes responsible for hormone metabolism from other types of hormonal contraception, in our opinion it is worth using additional protection in the form of a condom by taking an antibiotic with any type of hormonal contraception. Also with the disc. I am attaching a study that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
