A member asked:

Currently taking minastrin fe pills, but also was on amoxicillin for about 3 days. do i need another form of protection for 7 days after? or am i ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Play it safe: There is no way to be sure, if taking amoxicillin may have accelerated the metabolism of the minestrone Fe pills in an individual's liver. To be safe, an alternative birth control method for the cycle in question is advised.
