Does Amoxicillin Lower The Effectiveness Of Birth Control?
Hi! I just had my wisdom teeth removed and I am on day 2 of using amoxicillin. I am on gildes FE 1/20 and I have read on planned parenthood that this antibiotic would not decrease its efficiency. I had sex without a condom and now I m scared I could be pregnant. I have been on the pill for about a year and am supposed to have my period next week.
