To @Kasia:

Sorry, there was an obvious typographical error here.

Vegetable charcoal, of course, has no effect on the effect of contraception.

I would like to ask for an answer, because I started to worry about what else from food can negatively affect oral contraception. Starting tomorrow, should I use additional methods of contraception for seven days because of eating these sweets?

Could you tell me what I should do in this case? Tomorrow evening I'm starting another pack of Microgynon. In a statement from two years ago, you stated that vegetable charcoal has no effect on oral contraception: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/65357/wegiel-czy-wegiel-drzewny-wplywa-na-skutecznosc-tabletek-antykoncepcyjnych-czym-rozni-sie-wegiel-drz

The sweets I ate and the ingredients I put below are nuts in a sugar coating. Vegetable charcoal occurs as a dye - some pebbles, but these were few, were light blue and light purple.

To @Kasia:

The presence of vegetable charcoal in the composition of sweets may affect the effectiveness of contraceptive pills.

Hello. I can't ask a question. That's why I'm writing here. Can this composition of sweets have any effect on birth control pills? My reservations are raised by the presence of vegetable charcoal. I'm on day three of my withdrawal bleeding break and I ate a few big handfuls today.

Yes, it will be the same with all other contraceptive pills, including Axia Plus.

Is the same true for Axia Plus? Because this medication is taking

To @Natalia:

The ingredients in the supplement are generally safe and should not affect the effectiveness of Axia Conti. However, in the case of substances such as piperine or curcumin, which can affect liver enzymes, it is worth being careful and taking the supplement with a few hours (at least 2-3 hours) interval from Axia Conti.

Product ingredients:

Ginger root extract (Zingiber officinale) standardized to contain 5% gingerols, magnesium (magnesium oxide), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (capsule), Curcumin C3 Complex® (turmeric rhizome extract (Curcuma longa) standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids), vitamin D (cholecalciferol), medium-chain fatty acids (from coconut oil), vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopheryl succinate), BioPerine® (black pepper fruit extract (Piper nigrum) standardized to contain 95% piperine), biotin (D-biotin).

Can I take it safely?

To @Natalia:

Taking Naturell D 2000+ in the evening should not affect the effectiveness of Axia Plus contraception. The ingredients in this supplement, such as vitamin D and additional minerals, do not interact with hormonal contraceptives. However, it is important to always take Axia Plus at a fixed time and according to the package leaflet.

If I take axia plus at 10 a.m., can I take the Naturell D 2000+ supplement in the evening? Will no ingredient reduce the effectiveness of contraception?

To @Natalia: No, such a change in the time of taking the pills does not matter. It is important that you always use the medicine at about the same time of the day, i.e. in your case - always in the morning.

Will taking the pill every day at 10 and during a week's leave at 11 (time Polish 10) affect contraception?

Exactly yes - you do not have to use an additional method of contraception. However, remember to use the medicine at the same time every day. Enjoy your holiday :)

Does this mean that I do not need to use additional security?

True, protection will be preserved. If less than 24 hours have passed since you missed a tablet, protection against pregnancy is not reduced. Take the tablet as soon as you remember and then take the next tablets at the usual time. So you have no reason to worry. As for alcohol - it does not reduce the effectiveness of oral contraception unless its consumption leads to vomiting within 5 hours of taking the drug. Also, do not use alcohol as a drink to sip tablets. Besides, don't worry, you are still protected against pregnancy.
