Does the antibiotic weaken the effect of the Nuvaring disc?

If I used the antibiotic for 4 days, I have to protect myself for these 4 days plus 7 after finishing the antibiotic, so after 11 days I can have sex without a condom? Uses nuvaring. I had intercourse 13 days after the end of the antibiotic in the condom for safety. So now that 17 days have passed after the end of the antibiotic, the protection is fully preserved?

For @Hania: Yes, you can store the disc in a sachet, without a cardboard box.

And can I put it in the fridge without a cardboard box, only in a sachet in which there is a krazek?

Thank you very much for your reply

To @Hania: Yes, you are right. In this case - because the drug does not require storage in the refrigerator - the variable temperature on the refrigerator door will not affect its effectiveness. If the temperature in the apartment may exceed 30°C, you can store the disc on the refrigerator door.

Hania (Anonymous, 83.25.204.) 2 years ago

Even when the door opening from the refrigerator the temperature can change to plus not to minus and nuvaring has a protective sachet and even if it is there 7-10 degrees it will not lose its effectiveness right?

But nothing happens when it is on the door of the refrigerator? Even if the temperature with the door open is variable, nuvaring can be stored up to 30 degrees so if it is in the refrigerator 7 then probably nothing will happen? You store it in a cabinet on the door of the refrigerator because in the room I have a temperature in the heat of 28 degrees and this temperature fluctuates. So nothing will happen if it is on the door of the refrigerator? The drawers are full of food, I live with other people.

For @Hania: Nuvaring does not need to be stored in the refrigerator. More here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/6936/nuvaring-jak-przechowywac-krazek-nuvaring-podczas-wyjazdu As you rightly pointed out, medicines should not be stored on the refrigerator door. The door is opened, so the temperature in this place is variable, so it would be better to store medicines, e.g. in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator. As I mentioned earlier - in the case of Nuvaring it is enough to store at room temperature.

Plus on the door of the refrigerator I have a shelf lockable in which I just keep it away from food

Hania (Anonymous, 83.25.204.) 2 years ago

Because I read that medicines should not be stored on the door of the refrigerator that due to the variable temperature and humidity but nuvaring has a special sachet in which I keep it there. I don't have moisture in the fridge. Wants to make sure

And can I keep nuvaring On the door of the refrigerator in the cabinet ? I have 3 degrees in the fridge

Antibiotics affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception taken orally. They do not affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive disc: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/70596/nuvaring-czy-antybiotyk-augmentin-oslabia-skutecznosc-krazka-nuva-ring If you do not take other drugs that may weaken the effectiveness of the disc, you can have intercourse without additional protection: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/55364/nuvaring-przyrzad/ulotka/109760 I encourage you to read our study about what drugs weaken the effectiveness of contraception Hormonal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji

And why does an antibiotic suppress the action of the krazka if its hormones are not absorbed in the intestines? Because I see on this page other information, one lady writes that oslabia and another, that does not weaken because the hormones of the krazka are not absorbed in the intestines.
