Hello, I take Drovelis tablets, in 20 days of taking the tablets I started antibiotic therapy with Zinnat. On the 23rd day of the cycle there was intercourse, can I take an Ellaone tablet on the 24th day for additional protection? if so, should I continue to use Drovelis tablets according to the blister?

If intercourse took place without additional protection, there is a risk of pregnancy. The use of ellaOne emergency contraception is most effective within the first 24 hours after improperly secured intercourse. You may use emergency contraception to reduce the risk of pregnancy. After using ellaOne, you will need to use additional contraception, e.g. in the form of condoms, until you start a new pack of Drovelis. After taking the emergency contraceptive tablet, take the next Drovelis tablets at the same time each day. For a prescription for ellaOne, consult your doctor. You can also use teleadvice via m.in portal Gdziepolek.pl: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-ginekologiem The medicine Zinnat used may affect the contraceptive effectiveness of Drovelis. We wrote more about the effect of antibiotics on the effectiveness of hormonal contraception, e.g. in the opinion: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/81905/sylvie-czy-antybiotyk-zinnat-wplywa-na-skutecznosc-tabletek-antykoncepcyjnych-sylvie-30 When using Zinnat, you should use additional contraception throughout the period of antibiotic therapy and for at least 7 days after its completion.
