im just curious as to which antibiotics or perscription medication may have an effect on the oral contriceptive. i would just like to know to keep myself further protected from an accident happening.
i got my wisdom teeth pulled and they gave me amoxacilin for infection and vikoden for the pain, i know amoxacilin effects the O.C. but how about the vikoden?
Amoxicillan and any form of the penicillian family will lower the effectiveness of any birth control pill. They even give you a warning when you receive the prescriptions, read what you are provided.
