Does passing 2 loose stools before taking the contraceptive pill and one 40 minutes after taking it affect contraception?
Good morning. I have a question about taking birth control pills. 2 hours before taking the tablet I had a loose stool and 40 minutes after taking the tablet another loose stool. Should I take an extra pill?

There is no need to take an additional tablet, protection is preserved. Protection could be reduced if diarrhoea occurs within 3-4 hours of taking the tablet. Loose stools before taking the drug do not affect its absorption. One loose stool after about 40 minutes after taking the tablet is not synonymous with diarrhea and does not affect the effectiveness of therapy. Protection is preserved.

If it was only a one-time action, nothing will happen. The bowel movement would have to be 3 times during these 4 hours.
