Hi, I have been taking Drovelis for almost 2 years now.
After taking the 18th pink pill I had a bout of mild diarrhea an hour later at about 9pm. (I usually take my pill at 8 p.m.)
I decided to take a spare pill at 9 a.m. the next morning.
Am I covered for how long I am pregnant or not?
Thank you very much

In the case of diarrhoea (passing at least 3 excessively loose stools), taking an extra tablet within a maximum of 24 hours (in your case it was 13 hours) from the standard time of use of the medicine ensures that the contraceptive protection of Drovelis continues. Subsequent tablets should be taken at the same time. This situation does not affect the contraceptive efficacy of the medicine.
If you have passed 1 stool, this does not affect the effectiveness of your contraception and you did not need to take an additional tablet. The extra tablet does not affect the effectiveness of the medicine you are taking. Subsequent tablets should be taken at the same time.
I encourage you to familiarize yourself with additional materials that you may find useful:
