Good morning
I didn't read the ingredients and I ate a vegetable cutlet and vege black pudding, where the addition of m.in was psyllium fiber - it was around 6:00 p.m. Then, at 8:30 p.m., I took an Orlifice tablet. Can the effect of the pill be disturbed?

Psyllium fibre present in a meal eaten 2.5 hours before taking Orlifique did not affect the effectiveness of contraception.
Psyllium fiber can theoretically slow down the absorption of certain medications if consumed in large quantities and shortly before or together with them. In practice, a moderate amount of fibre in a meal should not significantly interfere with the absorption of active ingredients in contraceptive pills.

In addition, you took the tablet 2.5 hours after a meal, which is enough time to minimize the effect of fiber on absorption. If you are taking birth control pills and dietary supplements containing large amounts of fiber, it is recommended to keep a 2-hour interval between taking them and the pill.
