Pill & Antibiotic Query

    Hi

    I felt the beginnings of a UTI coming on on Sunday. I get these a few times a year. To head it off before it begins I have some antibiotics that I keep with me at all times. I took one tablet on Sunday and one Monday morning and one Monday evening. It cleared up pretty quick.

    I'm on the pill too though and know that if you're on a 'course' of antibiotics the pill won't work & you need to take extra precautions when having sex.

    However, lastnight in my stupidity I had unprotected sex with my partner. I'm wondering - as I only took 3 antibiotic tablets would this interfere with my pill & should I go get the morning after pill? And if so, where do I go to get it? Am I right in thinking Boots do it OTC now?

    Any advice would really ease my worried mind.

    Hey there,

    We cannot give medical advice and you should not take advice from those who don't know what specific medication you are taking and what affect they could have on each other.

    Your best course of action is to contact your GP and ask their professional opinion.

    All the very best.
