When taking the antibiotic and 7 days after its completion, it is advisable to use an additional method of contraception, as the effectiveness of the tablets may be impaired. I do not know how big the risk of getting pregnant is, but for the future, please remember to use a condom. In this situation, I would recommend taking a pregnancy test about 10-14 days after intercourse.
