I’ve started with diane 3 months ago. I’m 17 years old. I got respiratory infection and was prescribed antibiotics. How do antibiotics affect contraceptive pills? Should I use additional contraception this month?

Yes antibiotics like amoxicillin and ampicillin affect absorption of hormones. You need an alternative method of protection. Antibiotics may interfere with action of contraceptives, so you are not completely protected. It would be the best option to use condom till the end of this cycle. I heard that unwanted pregnancies are not rare in these situations.
