Hi.
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What Nordette dose she has taken for prevention of pregnancy seems to be alright.
Amoxacillin is an antibiotic which is taken for treating infection. It is not known to affect the action or efficacy of birth control pills. Kindly ask her to complete the course of antibiotics.
She needs to get breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks of Nordette intake. In case it doesn't happen, you need to seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
