Consider using a non-hormonal birth control method while taking amoxicillin, such as condoms or a copper IUD. These methods are unaffected by antibiotic interactions.
Alternative Antibiotics
If you’re concerned about amoxicillin’s interaction with your birth control, discuss alternative antibiotics with your doctor. Some antibiotics have a lower risk of interaction. They will help you choose the best option for your specific situation.
Monitoring and Backup Methods
Use a backup birth control method, such as condoms, for at least one menstrual cycle after finishing your amoxicillin course. This precaution minimizes the risk of pregnancy. Regularly monitor for any changes in your menstrual cycle. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice irregularities or suspect pregnancy.
