Also, I am currently on an antibiotic. Will it affect the potency of that? How long are most people on Protoix? Does it work?

Consult a doc is by far the best thing to do, but if that is not an option- then go to http://www.walgreens.com look at the pharmacy page and it has a link for drug interactions. Put both medications and it should let you know if there is a problem. But when it comes to birth control I would still use a condom everytime if you have any worries about the effectiveness. It is better to be safe and sorry when it comes to pregnancy.

Some people are on Protonix long term, especially if you have chronic reflux. The Protonix shouldn't have an effect on you BCP's but the antibiotic will. All antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of BCP's so be sure to use back up while you are on the antibiotics!

protonix is not an antibiotic, is helps with stomach ulcers, acid reflux, etc. And yes it will effect it if you take them within a few hours of one another. If you were on antibiotics, they will make your birth control completely ineffective for the length of your doses and through a whole cycle (a month usually)
