If I take combined contraceptive pills and I am undergoing antibiotic therapy with augumentin, and I have had interrupted intercourse with my partner, is there a risk of pregnancy? Should I take the morning after pill? If so, should I continue taking contraception after taking it?

If you are taking combined contraceptive pills and taking the antibiotic Augmentin at the same time, you risk that the effectiveness of contraception will be reduced. With interrupted intercourse, the risk of pregnancy is lower than with vaginal ejaculation. However, it is not zero.
In this situation, I encourage you to consider emergency contraception (the so-called "morning after pill") as a precaution. It is also worth using additional methods of protection, such as condoms, for the duration of antibiotic therapy and for 7 days after its completion.
My friend also answered a similar question in the thread below:
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
