me and DH have decided to try again for another child sometime soon (hopefully a daughter, but as long as healthy then i'm not to fussed)

BUT the question is does nitrofurantoin antibiotics make cilest contraceptive pill less effective?

just I was prescribed some this cycle for a kidney infection and now I feel "peculiar" I dont know how to explain it?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to this part of the forum again.

I'm not sure on those specific one's but I would be careful as I was under the impression they could all effect any pill.... best to be careful if you are not wanting to try to conceive yet just in case.

Any antibiotic will have an effect on the pill hun. If you're feeling funny it might be worth doing a test soon. It's also possible you just don't react well to that particular antibiotic. I have the same issue with cephalexin... Just can't take it no matter how bad I feel as it only makes me feel worse. I was on nitrofurantoin for virtually the whole of my last pregnancy as I have kidneys that like to play up and it was OK for me but every person is different.

Hi Charlene, I was on the forum when we both were having our 1st! I usually google, I cannot have penicillin and have to have alternative ones and sometimes they say if they will interfere or not but I normally stay clear of DH when I am taking any.
