Good morning, can drinking Dilmah apple tea (Ceylon black tea from the Udapusselawa region (BOPF leaf), aroma (5%), apple (0.5%).) affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill Symbella? I've read that Ceylon tea can stimulate digestion and that's why I'm worried. I drank the tea 7 hours after taking the pill.

To @Ola:
Yes, Ceylon tea does not speed up digestion in such a significant way. Despite its many health benefits, Ceylon tea is mainly known for such health benefits as strengthening the immune system, improving concentration, brain function, and supporting weight loss.
I see, so Ceylon tea doesn't speed up digestion in such a significant way?

No, tea drunk 7 hours after taking the contraceptive pill will not affect its effectiveness. There is no need to worry. For more information on the interaction of birth control pills with food/drink and other medicinal products, see:
