I was prescribed Roxithromycin 150mg twice a day for a sinus infection. I have two main concerns: 1) Does this antibiotic affect birth control? 2) I have an intense fear of vomiting. Is roxithromycin more gentle or well tolerated compared to amoxicillin, and how common is vomiting on this antibiotic?
