Does amoxicillin contained in the antibiotic Taromentin affect the effectiveness of birth control pills? In foreign literature they write that they do not. Apparently, one antibiotic with a proven effect on birth control pills is rifampicin. If I took the antibiotic Taromentin while taking birth control pills and did not protect myself, should I take the pill after?

Taromentin does not weaken the effectiveness of birth control pills. You can also find very similar conclusions in one of the entries on our forum: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/89349/amotaks-czy-amoksycylina-wplywa-na-skutecznosc-tabletek-antkyoncepcyjnych Since the "after pill" is a prescription drug, the legitimacy of its use should always be decided by a doctor.
