Hello, Do Escapelle or EllaOne reduce the effect of birth control pills? Do I need to use an additional form of protection or is it enough to continue using Vines?

To @Mi:
You can take a standard 7-day break after taking your last Lesinelle tablet, even after taking EllaOne. Although EllaOne may temporarily reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, the risk of pregnancy depends on many factors. It is best to consult a doctor who will assess your individual situation.
Hello, on the 6th day of the 1st package of lesinelle pills I forgot to take it, I took only on the 7th day after 24 hours the forgotten pill and the one from the actual day, but I also took ellaone. I read that it reduces the effectiveness of the pills. I continued to take the pills, also using condoms, and on the last day of taking the pills (20 pills), unfortunately, the condom broke, I panicked and took ellaone again, because after taking this pill I knew that it reduces the effect of contraceptive pills. On day 21, just after taking Ellaone, I took the last pill from the blister and I should take a 7-day break according to the package.
Now I don't know whether to take this break or start another package right away.
Is there a risk of pregnancy if taking lesinelle tablets 13 days after the previous ellaone could reduce the effect so much that another ellaone may not work? Please inform me

To @Anna: EllaOne contains a different active substance than Escapelle. EllaOne contains ulipristal acetate, which has a high affinity for the progesterone receptor and may interfere with the progestagenic component of hormonal contraceptives and thus weaken their effectiveness. Escapelle contains levonorgestrel which has no such effect.
And why escapelle does not affect and ellaone affects birth control pills?

Produkt ellaOne może tymczasowo zmniejszyć skuteczność zażywanych regularnie środków antykoncepcyjnych, takich jak pigułki. W przypadku stosowania antykoncepcji hormonalnej należy kontynuować jej zażywanie w sposób normalny po zażyciu ellaOne, jednak należy stosować prezerwatywy podczas każdego stosunku płciowego do czasu kolejnego cyklu miesiączkowego.
Escapelle nie wpływa na skuteczność zażywanej antykoncepcji.
