Does xifaxan affect the yasminelle contraceptive pill? And how best to take them together? Usually, yasminelle is taken at 10:30 a.m. how long should you wait before or after taking an antibiotic?

Xifaxan may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraception. This risk is due to the effect of rifaximin on the intestinal bacterial flora. While taking the drug, it is recommended to use additional measures to protect against pregnancy for 7 days after the end of antibiotic therapy.
I'm sending a link to a topic that has already been discussed on the GPL:
Here you can check the availability of the drug with the possibility of reserving it at the pharmacy:
