Hello, I would like to ask if eating a few handfuls of salted roasted popcorn about 2 hours after swallowing the Elin contraceptive pill can reduce its effectiveness? Can a large amount of fiber in popcorn limit the absorption of a pill? Please also tell me if getting vaccinated against the flu affects the effectiveness of Elin?

No, eating popcorn – even roasted and salted – a few hours after taking an Elin pill does not affect its effectiveness. The amount of fiber in popcorn is too small to limit the absorption of active substances from the tablet.
Also, the flu vaccination has no effect on the effect of hormonal contraception. It is only important to take the pills regularly at a fixed time and avoid situations that may cause vomiting or diarrhea within a few hours after swallowing the tablet.
