Ovcon 35 and Bactrim?

Hi, I may have to go on a strong immunosuppressive for my Crohn's Disease, and I would be required to take Bactrim as prophylaxis to prevent pneumonia. I take Ovcon 35 and wonder how the Bactrim would affect my BCP?

>From the research I have done, the only antibiotics listed to affect the
Ovcon formulation are penicillins and tetracycline antibiotics. (link: http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/topic100591241 )

Also would switching to Ovcon 50 counter the effect of antibiotics? I have read that antibiotics lower the amount of estrogen in the system.
