How long should I use a condom?
On 22.03 I started a new package of Atywia after a seven-day break. 23.03 it turned out that I had to take the antibiotic sumamed 500, the last tablet of the 28.03 antibiotic. How is it with protection? In addition, a condom until April 4 is enough?

There is no way to determine exactly the extent to which taking an antibiotic weakens the contraceptive effect. Antibiotics disrupt the composition of the bacterial flora in the intestines, necessary to convert the hormones contained in the tablets into active forms, which limits their absorption. Therefore, this effect may vary from patient to patient, e.g. depending on their microbiota in the gut. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji

Yes, the use of an additional method of contraception for the entire duration of antibiotic therapy and for 7 days after its completion will be fully sufficient.
