Does the antibiotic make the birth control "completly" inefective??

These ladies are absolutely right. Continue to take both as recommended, but USE A BACK-UP METHOD of birth control while you're on the Amoxicillin and up to a week after (as mentioned above), because the antibiotics indeed can reduce the effectiveness of the pill.
I see you've been busy...GO BUY YOURSELF A PACK OF CONDOMS! While the antibiotics don't make the pill "completely ineffective," you can never tell if they'll counteract them with YOUR chemisry, or THAT particular time...without the backup, you're taking your chances. I would rather be overly cautious, and deal with the inconvenience of using condoms a few times...

Use a backup method of birth control for 1 week after your Amoxicillin is all gone...don't take any chances. That is what my doctor told me when I was in the same situation. I have also known people who didn't use backup while on antibiotics and actually got pregnant. No joke, be careful.

Well Ill put it to you this way I was on birthcontrol and I was also put on amoxicillin for a sinus infection and now I have a beautiful 6 year old boy.. When taking antibiotics and you are on birth control besure to use protection because antibotics disrupt the affects of birthcontrol

Antibiotics make the pill ineffective. You need to have another form of birth control until you finish the antibiotics. You could be pregnant

You need to make sure that you use some sort of back up during your antibiotic course. Antibiotics can effect the hormones released in birth controls. Just be careful.....

ok for one stop taking birth control and wait a while and second amoxicillin will not affect you on gettin pregnant cause i was taking that back in june when i went to the dentist and i didn't know i was pregnant until july 18th so that doesn't affect you on gettin pregnant you should get pregnant after you stop taking birth control good luck

you should use a backup method for a month...antibiotics can cause your birth control to be less effective.

Use a condom until you are off the antibiotics...
