A member asked:

What to do if i am currently taking co-amoxiclav, and am taking microgynon.. should i use condoms or will my pill not be effected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only if you want to: Most commonly used antibiotics such as Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) (Amoxiclav) don't change the effectiveness of birth control pills. If you are being treated for Tuberculosis or something exotic you might need to worry. Best wishes!
