Hello ma'am,

It is recommended to avoid all sexual relations, even if protected, as condoms are not a 100% measure and could break.

Given that you are asking about a treatment that has been prescribed to you, I strongly recommend that you redirect your question to your pharmacist who will contact the prescriber if deemed necessary.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
