Amoxicillin vs. Otho TriCyclen Lo!!!!!

Does anyone have a clue?????? I took and the antibotic Amoxicillin for two days now and I have also been taking my BCP Otho TriCyclen Lo. I want to know does that mean that the Amoxicillin made my BCP Other TriCyclen Lo stop working???? And if Amoxicillin one of the antibotics that can make the pill unaffective???
Thanks,
Jbaby

Antibiotics can reduce the pill`s effectiveness by some unknown amount. Since antibiotics kill off all of the good bacteria in the intestinal tract, your pill isn`t being absorbed as well. If you want to continue having sex during this time, DEFINITELY use back-up, like a condom, while you`re taking the antibiotic and for a week after. Once you stop your antibiotic round and have taken seven more birth control pills correctly, you`re protection against pregnancy is re-established.
