Good morning. Can I take pills?
MERZ with a contraceptive implant. I am concerned about the presence of vitamin C in the composition. Will MERZ reduce the contraceptive effect of the implant?
Thank you.

And with contraceptive pills, can I eat pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut every day? In quite large quantities??

Yes, you can. The vitamin C contained in MERZ Special does not affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive implant.
The literature and available studies do not mention that vitamin C alters the effect of hormone implants.
