Does the anise in chocolate affect the effectiveness of birth control pills?

Good morning. Yesterday I ate 4 small cubes of gingerbread flavored chocolate that could have been anise. Do I have reason to worry if I took the pill about 35 minutes earlier and the anise situation was a one-off? Is it more about larger amounts of the product, as it looks like with garlic, and not small amounts for the dish, or in chocolate?

The anise contained in chocolate does not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills in any way. I encourage you to read the content of our article:
