Birth control and antibiotic

2018-02-22 16:25:53
I am on birth control and it is the 5th day of a new pack. On the 3rd and 4th day I had unprotected sex and he ejaculted inside of me. Today (the 5th day) I got my wisdom teeth out and have been prescribed an antibiotic. Could the antibiotic affect the sperm that could be still active in me?

Antibiotics can reduce the efficacy of birth control pills. So from now plz use extra protection. As far as sperm is concerned, it won't b affected by antibiotics .
