Colds and contraception

 Oral contraceptives contain two types of female hormones: estrogen and progestogen. These hormones are produced in the ovaries of women. When the matter comes from the outside, there is a suppression of oocyte maturation. In addition, the birth control pills lead to changes in the mucous membrane of the uterus, which prevents attachment of a fertilized egg.

There are medications that decrease the effect of contraceptives. Some of them are prescribed for colds such as influenza, tonsillitis, pneumonia, bronchitis and other. These tools include the "Ampicillin", "Tetracycline", "Rifampin". Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of contraceptives, so in their application should use additional measures of protection from unwanted pregnancy, such as a condom or contraceptive cap.

With some analgesics should also take care of other contraceptive methods. Note that it is necessary not only to protect themselves while taking the drug, but within a week after the end of treatment. Do not use coitus interruptus as a means of protection. During sex the man stands predsemennaya liquid that contains a certain amount of sperm. To avoid unwanted conception use more efficient and reliable methods of contraception.

If you use oral contraceptives, be careful when taking other drugs, such as anticonvulsants. Carefully read the instructions, consult a physician. There are drugs that are also able to reduce the effect of contraceptives (phenobarbital, phenytoin, griseofulvin, etc.).
