Does amoxicillin affect the effectiveness of Vibin Mini contraception?

Does amoxicillin taken while taking Vibin Mini placebo tablets reduce amticoconceptive protection? In the leaflets of both drugs there is no information about the fact that it lowers.

Antibiotics can weaken the effectiveness of hormonal contraception, but this does not apply equally to all substances from the group of antibiotics. This is especially unlikely when taking placebo pills that do not contain hormones. In my opinion, you should not have cause for concern, but to be sure, of course, it is worth taking a pregnancy test.

However, it seems that amoxicillin does not affect the concentration of hormones in the blood, so it should not adversely affect the effectiveness of protection. However, it is worth remembering that the use of antibiotics can also indirectly affect the effectiveness of contraception – if diarrhea occurs during treatment, there may be a reduced absorption of hormones from the contraceptive pill. For this reason, some sources suggest the use of additional protection throughout the course of antibiotic treatment. I am attaching an article in which this topic is described in more detail: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
