A member asked:
What is the interaction between birth control pills, the morning after pill, and the antibiotic amoxicillin? what's the possibility of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No interaction.: If you are on birth control pills, took the morning after pill and are taking Amoxicillin for an unrelated reason, you are extremely unlikely to be pregnant. Check a home urine pregnancy test the after a missed period and if negative repeat in a week - that's the only way to be sure. Take Folic Acid 1 mg daily and best of luck!
