A member asked:
Can i safely take amoxicillin with birth control? i have unprotected sex. can this cause pregnancy? how safe am i?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be OK: There is no definitive interference with birth control by amoxicllin. On the other hand, since there have been some questionable reports, best to be safe and back up your contraception with condoms while taking the antibiotic if you don't want to be pregnant.
