Hello, I've been on Evra patches for about 2 years now. Currently, since Friday I have a break for withdrawal bleeding so I don't have a patch, yesterday I was prescribed Biseptol 960 for angina and drugs such as Ibuprofen, Respero myrtol.
I have three questions
1. Do these drugs reduce the effect of contraception? What will the protection look like now and how much additional protection should I take?
2. Are intercourse before taking antibiotics protected? What is it like when using an antibiotic during a bleeding break? The last intercourse took place on Thursday on the 3rd patch, and on Friday I took it off and on Tuesday I took the first dose of antibiotic, at the same time I got bleeding from withdrawal yesterday.
3. A question not directly related to contraception, I received medication for stomach problems from the doctor and a referral for gastroscopy and abdominal ultrasound. As for the medication, I was given Controloc every day on an empty stomach and Intesta for 3 months in the morning and evening. Can I safely take these drugs with other medications, such as now with the disease and the antibiotic, and do they reduce the overall effect of my Evra patch?
