For some bacterial infections, such as cystitis, your doctor will prescribe you an antibiotic to relieve your symptoms quickly and permanently. There are a few things to consider when using such antibiotics properly, such as: Abortion pills Available in UAE interactions with the pill. Basically, the pill is a very safe contraceptive. However, if you take certain antibiotics, they (and other hormonal contraceptives) may no longer work safely. We explain why this is and what you should do to be protected against unwanted pregnancy even when taking antibiotics.  

How does an antibiotic work?

Antibiotics prevent bacteria from multiplying and / or kill them in your body entirely. There are drugs that work against many different types of bacteria and those that are used specifically against one or selected bacterial strains. Many antibiotics like Abortion pills Available in UAE work after a few days, others should be taken for a few weeks to get really healthy again.

It is important that you really use the antibiotic for as long as the doctor prescribes it, and that you do not stop taking it earlier – even if you feel better again. If you stop your antibiotic therapy prematurely, it is possible that not all bacteria have been killed yet. In the worst case, the surviving bacteria multiply again and the infection flares up again.

While taking it, side effects such as tiredness, skin irritation or gastrointestinal problems can occur. It is also possible that the antibiotic interacts with other drugs, i.e. the two preparations influence each other. Such an interaction can be, for example, that the antibiotic no longer reliably protects your pill against an unwanted pregnancy.

 How can an antibiotic affect the way the pill works?

There are currently insufficient studies on how exactly an antibiotic affects the effectiveness of the pill. This is very much dependent on how your pill Abortion pills Available in UAE works and the type of antibiotic. But one suspects different reasons:

Decreased absorption of hormones

Some pills work by combining estrogens and gestates (hormone components). About 50 percent of the estrogens are absorbed in the body when they pass through the intestines. D i.e. naturally occurring intestinal bacteria (your microbiome) play an important role . From there they enter the bloodstream and develop their effect. The dilemma also arises in the intestine: Most antibiotics are swallowed as tablets and also arrive in the intestine through the digestive tract. There they not only attack foreign, harmful bacteria, but also good, important intestinal bacteria. In the worst case, the antibiotic destroys the intestinal flora, so that the pill and its hormones cannot be properly absorbed and processed.

Gastrointestinal problems

In addition to a disturbed intestinal flora, it can (in rare cases) also be that you have to vomit because of the antibiotic or you get diarrhea. Such gastrointestinal complaints can also make the Abortion pill less effective because it cannot be properly absorbed by the body. You should be extra careful about contraception if vomiting and diarrhea occur frequently.

Influence on the enzymes

Some antibiotic active ingredients (e.g. rifampicin and rifabutin) stimulate the production of the body’s own enzymes, which, among other things, can break down drugs or their active ingredients, making them less effective. For example, some of these enzymes break down the hormone progesterone, a progestogen that is an important part of the pill’s effectiveness.

Antibiotics and pills – safe contraception anyway?

As you can see, there are many ways and why antibiotic drugs can affect the effectiveness of your pill. Scientists assume that the likelihood of an interaction is higher if the pill is dosed lower, i.e. contains fewer hormones. A sign of the reduced effect can be, for example, intermenstrual bleeding. To make sure that you do not become pregnant unintentionally while taking antibiotics from Get abortion pills in Dubai.
