When using the antibiotic Doxycyclinum, can the effectiveness of Evra patches be reduced?
hello, I take doxycycline in the treatment of rosacea, the treatment is to last a few weeks. I use Evra contraceptive patches - in this case, is their effectiveness as reduced as when taking oral contraception? Thank you in advance for your reply

When using the antibiotic Doxycyclinum, the effectiveness of Evra patches may be reduced because it affects the liver enzymes responsible for the metabolism of the hormones contained in the patches. Therefore, an additional form of contraception in the form of a condom should be used throughout the course of antibiotic therapy and for 7 days after the end of treatment.
