Brief Answer:
It will not affect plan B!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this unprotected sex and pregnancy fear. Plan B is very effective and when taken early, really works very well. Amoxicillin has not effect on plan B. You are safe. Please, contraception and condom use are better at preventing against unwanted/unplanned pregnancies.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
