Hi, Mandy! How are you?

Yes, there is a chance that it could alter the efficacy of your contraceptive. This antibiotic can sometimes cause your liver to not process/absorb as much of the estrogen in them, which makes them less effective at preventing pregnancy.

Learn more Cipro details here.

Thus, it is best to use a backup form of protection while you are taking it and for 7 days afterwards.

Is there anything else I can help with?
