Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Not all antibiotics interact with birth control pills. Antibiotics like Rifampin and Griseofulvin interact with birth control pills and sometimes cause contraceptive failure. Common antibiotics doesn’t interact with pills and you don’t need to worry about it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
