I am on doxycycline for a staff infection for 30 days (i am immunocompromised and can't seem to be able to fight it with only 10 days of antibiotics.) But this antibiotic makes my bc (nuvaring) less effective. I want to know how long the antibiotic will stay in my system so that i know when my bc will begin to become fully effective again.
Thank you so much!

They stay from a week- forever depending on how strong the are.
For example cancer antibiotics stay for about 8 months while Tylenol lasts for about a day.
Your antibiotic may stay from 2 and a half months to 6 months according to Google.

Look at this site for the half life of the drug 12 hours than double it and it will give you how long it stays in your body, However, keep in mind that there are certain things that can alter this: ie renal function, seizure drugs, etc.
