If you take amoxicillin 500 mg can interfere with birthcontrol pill lessina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not interact: The current thinking is that except for rifampin, other commonly-used antibiotics do not alter the effectiveness of combination birth control pills such as Lessina. This is likely presuming a person is not sick with vomiting or bad diarrhea, or some other condition that decreases the absorption of a swallowed pill.
