Does nausea and the desire to vomit affect the effectiveness of orlifique? Before taking the pill as well as after drinking alcohol, which later was not good for me and I wanted to vomit while vomiting did not happen. I'm a little afraid to have unprotected sex now because I don't know if it affected the effectiveness of the drug. Is it recommended to use additional contraception in this case?

To @Olaa: Yes, nausea alone does not affect the effectiveness of contraception.
So if I had only nausea but in the end I did not vomit, I can have sex without protection?

The effectiveness of contraception may be impaired if vomiting or diarrhea occurs while taking the drug: "If vomiting or severe diarrhea occurs within 3-4 hours after taking the pink tablet containing the active substances, there is a risk that the active substances contained in the tablet have not been completely absorbed into the body." Nausea alone does not cause the pill to leave the digestive tract, so it does not affect the effectiveness of contraception. The decision whether you want to use additional protection is entirely up to you - for example, a condom also protects against sexually transmitted diseases.
