I have been using Vines birth control pills for a year. Today I took the first tablet from the new package. 20-40 minutes after taking I had a one-time diarrhea. Should I additionally secure for 7 days with a condom or am I safe?

The occurrence of a disposable loose stool does not affect the contraceptive effectiveness of Vines. However, if diarrhea occurs (at least 3 stools of excessively loose consistency) in less than 3-4 hours from the moment of taking the drug, it may cause a weakening of the contraceptive effectiveness of the drug. In this case, it is recommended to take an additional active tablet. If the additional active tablet is taken less than 12 hours from the usual time of taking the drug, the contraceptive effectiveness is preserved.
