yeah i think implanon is ok with antibiotics... the following is from a site with info on it...
[COLOR="DarkRed"]Does Implanon react/interfere with any drugs?
Not to the same extent that the Pill does. For example, you can take antibiotics without lowering the efficiency of the implant.
However, its effectiveness can be reduced by certain pills, notably ones for tuberculosis such as rifampicin (Rifadin) and rifabutin (Mycobutin) and some drugs for epilepsy such as phenytoin (Epanutin), carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital and primidone (Mysoline).
Most important: the popular herb St John’s wort should not be used by women who have an implant.
So i guess i'm ok there... hopefully the refresh plus drops help with wearing contacts when this clears up and i can put them back in
