To @Marta56:
Octeangin, which is a preparation used mainly to treat the symptoms of a sore throat, should not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills such as Vixpo. In general, drugs that do not affect hormone metabolism (e.g. antibiotics) do not change the effectiveness of contraceptives.
You can check the availability of Octeangin in pharmacies in Poland here:

No, Octeangin does not have a negative effect on the effectiveness of Rigevidon contraception, there is no reason to worry.
