When is birth control effective again after you stop taking amoxicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mst likely no effect: Most women probably don't have an interaction with Amoxicillin and birth control pills, although it's possible. Using a backup method like condoms while you're taking the antibiotic gives a margin of safety.
