Can 50 mg of licorice twice a day impair the effectiveness of birth control pills?

The gynecologist recommended me to take berberine and candida support for PCOS. I also take the contraceptive pill vines. Unfortunately, I noticed that the candida support I bought contains 50mg licorice and I take two capsules during the day. Could this affect the contraceptive effect? Do all candida support contain licorice?

To @Ania:

To minimize the risk of grapefruit products affecting your medications, you should keep an interval of at least 4 hours between preparations.

And 100mg of grapefruit seeds?

Consumption of such small amounts of licorice (0.1 g per day) does not affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill. Protection will be maintained.
