Good morning, since yesterday (4 contraceptive pill) I take an antibiotic for otitis (bioracef 500 twice a day and 2 hours after each antibiotic I take asekurin). In addition, I sprinkle my ears with the drug dicortineff and every few hours I take ibuprom rr for ear pain (3-4 tablets a day). How long do I have to protect myself in this situation? Can I use asekurin after antibiotic therapy and will it affect the effectiveness of contraceptive pills?

No, there is no need.
Thank you for your answer, in the break it is also better to protect yourself?

Yes, you can take a 7-day break normally. If you stop taking the antibiotic on the 13th contraceptive pill and additionally protect yourself for 7 days, then from the new blister the protection will be full.
Good morning. I took 7 doses of the above-mentioned antibiotic. It turned out that the antibiotic was changed to sumamed due to the fact that there was no improvement What does it look like now with additional protection? Can I normally take a break after 21 tablets (I would prefer to keep the current way of taking pills, i.e. with a break)? And the last question, if I have 6 doses of the antibiotic sumamed (1 per day), will the next cycle be secured? I will finish the sumamed antibiotic on 13 tablets of Elin. Regards :)

Please protect yourself throughout the course of antibiotic therapy and 7 days after its completion. After you stop taking the antibiotic, you can continue to take Asecurin and it will not affect the contraceptive pill.
