HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that I personally believe that taking birth control pill is not good for the health this could cause some danger in later life, the Augmentin nothing to do with the birth control medicine and you can continue taking the Augmentin take care and have a nice day.
