BCP ?'s: Augmentin will not cause vaginal "spotting", but taking the low dose bcp's "as prescribed" daily may need to be more punctual, as in taking the active pills at the same hour that the prior active pill was taken, as the dose of hormones in the current pills are very low, and even slight deviations in the time taken may result in breakthrough bleeding.
