Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.

Levlen contains ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestral. Amoxycillin reduces the effect of ethinyl estradiol in some women there by reducing the efficacy of the pill.
But now you are already on white pills which are inert pills. Taking amoxycillin while on white pills does not reduce the contraceptive effect. so do not worry.

I hope this is helpful.
If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
