No: The only antibiotic that might negatively affect hormonal birth control is Rifampin (check out https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/ask-dr-cullins/birth-control-qa). All others will not. If you're ever concerned about your medications/interactions, ask your prescribing doc & dispensing pharmacist.
