I started taking an antibiotic 5 days before starting a new pack of birth control. I'm supposed to take it for 10 days its cephalexin. I have 24 days left on my birth control pack, do I have to wait til the pack after the one I'm on right now is finished to do that?
How long after taking antibiotics can I have sex without a condom?

You have to use protection until a week after you finished the antibiotic.
