Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

Amoxicillin does not interact with your contraceptive, no problem! However, some people might get diarrhea with it, and diarrhea might decrease the effectiveness of the contraceptive.

Hopefully this has been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions!
