High-dose birth control pills, by virtue of their high estrogen content, can cause fibroids to grow larger. Low-dose birth control pills, in contrast, leave circulating estrogen levels the same (or reduced) and do not stimulate fibroid growth. Symptoms. Most women with uterine fibroids have no symptoms, but some do.
Some three days after the encounter I started taking antibiotics for strep throat. First amoxicillin for a week or so, but since it wasn't being very effective, the doctor switched to Levofloxacin, which I took for 2 more weeks.
Levofloxacin can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Levofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel.
