It is difficult to assess the risk of pregnancy in such a situation. An antibiotic can change the absorption of the contraceptive pill and reduce its effectiveness, so an additional method of protection during intercourse (condom) should be used throughout the antibiotic treatment and until the end of the cycle.

In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation with a gynecologist:
