Hello. I have been using contraception for a year, I take Liberelle pills. In the last few days I got cystitis and got the antibiotic Cipronex. In the meantime, I got brown spotting (I was in the second row of pills). I had sex at the time. Is this brown spotting a symptom of decreased contraception or a bladder infection? Should I take a pregnancy test?

Spotting can result, for example, from an adverse reaction of Liberelle or an intimate infection. The exact cause of spotting can be determined by a gynecologist, m.in. on the basis of an examination. Cipronex may reduce the contraceptive effectiveness of Liberelle. We described it in more detail in the opinion: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/61395/belara-czy-cipronex-oslabia-dzialanie-tabletek-antykoncepcyjnych-belara If you have intercourse without additional protection, I encourage you to take a pregnancy test after 10-14 days after intercourse. You can buy a pregnancy test using the offer of an online or stationary pharmacy. Choosing an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order a test with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy. Ultra-sensitive pregnancy tests available in pharmacies include, m.in.: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97388/domowe-laboratorium-pink-test-ciazowy-strumieniowy-super-czuly-test/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/54428/nordtest-test-ciazowy-plytkowy-test/apteki We wrote more about which pregnancy test to choose in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/test-ciazowy-jaki-wybrac-i-kiedy-zrobic In the event that the spotting persists, this may suggest that the cause is the side effects of Liberelle. In this case, I encourage you to report them. Reporting adverse reactions allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market.
