At the outset, it should be known that antibiotics disturb the composition of the bacterial flora in the intestines, necessary to convert hormones contained in all types of pills into active forms, which limits their absorption from tablets into the blood. In the case described by you, resolution for 8 hours after using the contraceptive pill does not affect its effectiveness. A weakening of the effectiveness of the tablet occurs when diarrhea occurs for 3-4 hours after taking the tablet. It should be borne in mind, however, that not dysentery, but the fact of using an antibiotic is important in this case - the antibiotic weakens the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. Therefore, you should use an additional form of contraception (condom) throughout the period of taking Zamur and for 7 days after the end of antibiotic therapy.
