I have been using diane35 for 17 days for both birth control and menstrual cycle problems and been using antibiotics Cipro for urinary system infection for about 5 days. I have not taken extra protection but heard that antibiotics would affect the birth control affect of diane35. Is that true?

Use of antibiotics in short course will not affect the birth control effect of diane35.

Hello, Yes it is true that the effect of oc pill would be reduced with antibiotics concomitant usage and hence additional contraceptive measure should have been adopted.
