To @Olaa: Yes, the protection will be preserved.

So after drinking alcohol after about 30 min / 1h from taking the tablet I can cooperate without protection?

My statement is based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the Safety Data Sheet of Orlifique. There is no record that alcohol reduces the contraceptive effectiveness of this drug (in the case of drugs whose action is affected by alcohol consumption, such information is clearly indicated in the Safety Data Sheet). Perhaps my friend meant that alcohol increases the risk of gastrointestinal disorders such as vomiting or diarrhea. Their occurrence within 3-4 hours of taking the tablet actually reduces its effectiveness or was guided by the general rule that no drugs should be washed down with alcohol - a break of +/- 2 hours between the drug and alcohol is justified. However, as I have previously emphasized, alcohol consumption while taking Orlifique tablets does not affect their contraceptive effectiveness.

So how is it in the end? Because she gets contradictory information, because another lady answering the question whether you can drink alcohol after taking a pill wrote that you should wait min. 2 h because alcohol can reduce the effectiveness

No, alcohol does not affect the effectiveness of Orlifique tablets.

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
