Good morning
I took my birth control pill at 6:30 p.m. Later I was in the city and drank 3 beers, at 5 a.m. there was quite strong diarrhea. Is the protection maintained?

Prolonged spotting and slight brown traces of mucus are normal and often occur when using birth control pills. They can be related to hormonal changes or stress.
Thank you for your reply. After this situation, I had my period one day longer, i.e. I usually stop bleeding on Friday and it dragged on for light spotting on Saturday. Very light, a kind of mucus colored brown. Is this normal?

Protection is maintained and there are no reasons for both.
Since the diarrhoea occurred more than 3-4 hours after taking the contraceptive pill, the drug had already been absorbed and worked properly.
Therefore, there is no need to use an additional form of contraception in the form of a condom.
