Taking Augmentin For Typhoid Fever. Had Unprotected Sex. Worried About Effectiveness Of Rigevidon
Hello,
I am currently on the antibiotics augmentin to treat typhoid fever as I am abroad. I am also on the pill rigevidon last night I had intercourse with my partner and did not use extra protection as I had researched that there are two antibiotics that affect the pill. However I am worried as I did another research and saw that other people have become pregnant will on this antibiotics. I have not missed any of the pills but I have had diarrhoea, not very severe but it has been everyday for a week and it usually occurs a long time (6hours) after taking the pill. Should I take the morning after pill would that help? Thank you

hi,
augmentin does not cause the interaction with contraceptive pill. so, you can be sure that your contraceptive pill is working well.
kindly take probiotics to avoid diarrhea from antibiotic. and take rest to fasten the healing from typhoid, do not exhaust yourself from exercise.
wishing you healthy life
