I took 2 contracept contracept pills by mistake. One at 3:00 p.m. and the other at 7:00 p.m. At 7.30 p.m. I had severe diarrhoea, will contraception be maintained?

To @Alina:
Yes, the tablet is absorbed within 4 hours.
In addition, it is worth noting that diarrhea is the occurrence of 3 loose stools. A single expulsion of loose stool does not affect contraception.
Will the tablet be absorbed even if 4.5 hours have passed?

Contraceptive protection is maintained.
Taking two Kontracept tablets on the same day and experiencing diarrhoea 5 hours after taking the first tablet does not affect the effectiveness of contraception. Within 5 hours, the first tablet had already been absorbed.
