Does plan B one step pill work if you’re taking antibiotics?

hello, I’m currently taking amoxicillin and due to an accident with condom i have to take the morning after pill, do antibiotics affect the effectiveness of the pill? Pls, help me… Thx xxxx

Dear Ursula23,

Indeed, certain antibiotics can compromise the effectiveness of emergency contraception or the morning after pill. However, not every antibiotic affects the accuracy. My advice is that you talk to your GP about the effect of the morning after pill on the medication you’re taking. Mixing drugs can cause adverse side effects and it is best to seek professional help.

I hope this helps,
