Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this disturbing thoughts on your mind. You did jut well to ask us and we seal give you solutions. This antibiotic has just no effect on the action of the contraceptive pill. It in no way reduces the efficacy of this product, and you are protected against pregnancy if you had been talking it right and still doing so. Please, oral contraceptive [pills do not protect against STDs. Also consider using a protection during sex for this, and it also provides additional contraception advantage. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services, and please do feel free to ask for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
