Antibiotics Tablets

I currently have an IUD, Mirena, I was just prescribed, Dicloxacillin. I am wondering what are the side effects for these two mixed medications. Does the Dicloxacillin interfere with the IUD?

In most cases, the reason that antibiotics alter the efficacy of contraceptives is due to their effect on how fast your body absorbs and processes the oral forms. Basically, they can make them run through your digestive system much faster, so less is absorbed and active in the body, which increases your risk of becoming pregnant.

Thus, most aren't known to do that with an IUD, since you aren't swallowing and digesting the hormone, instead its being absorbed right into your uterus.

However, for added peace of mind, I'd still suggest using a backup method of contraception, just to be on the safe side. If you really don't want to have a child, or shouldn't get pregnant for a medial reason, then some risks just aren't worth taking.

You can learn more Dicloxacillin details here.

You may also experience some side effects from this antibiotic, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
