What to do when I started an antibiotic course and take hormonal pills?

Hello, for several months I have been using hormonal tablets atywia daily. A week ago, on the day of the second contraceptive pill from the blister, I also started 7-day antibiotic therapy with Augmentin. I know that antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraception, so for how long should I protect myself additionally and should I take placebo pills, as always, or give them up for a more effective return to hormonal protection against pregnancy?

Podczas kuracji antybiotykiem przyjmujemy antykoncepcję hormonalną jak dotychczas. Zalecana jest dodatkowa mechaniczna metoda antykoncepcji przez okres kuracji antybiotykiem oraz kilka dni po.
