Do a few loose stools 2 hours after taking the contraceptive pill Vines reduce its effectiveness?

Diarrhoea is defined as passing stool with an excessively loose consistency – semi-liquid, liquid or watery stool with increased frequency – three or more times a day.

In this situation, "a few loose stools" can affect the effectiveness of birth control pills. If loose stools occur less than 3-4 hours after taking the tablet, take another pill immediately. Additional security is not needed in such a situation. If you have not taken an extra pill, your contraceptive protection may be reduced. In this case, you should use an additional protection device (condom) for the next 7 days.

Illness with diarrhoea limits the effectiveness of contraceptives. This can prevent the ingredients in the pill from being absorbed, so they won't be able to counteract pregnancy.

If you are concerned about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
