Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of contraception?
For the last week, I have been taking quite a lot of pain pills every day (due to toothache), e.g. Apap. I even took a total of about 4/5 tablets a day. Could this reduce the effectiveness of contraception? I will add that when taking these pain pills I was at the stage of taking the last active tablets from the 3rd row and it was also the time to start taking placebo tablets.

The weakening of the contraceptive effect of the pills is weakened after each dose is exceeded. Please exercise caution up to 7 days from the last day of exceeding the dose. Earlier, you informed us that the dose has not been exceeded, so you do not need to maintain additional protection.
And if the dose is exceeded one day and the next day, then also after 7 days from the last exceedance, protection will be restored?

That's exactly how :)
So on the 8th day the protection will be restored?

If the dose of paracetamol was exceeded when taking tablets with the active substance, mechanical contraception, e.g. a condom, should be maintained for 7 days.
And in case of exceeding the dose when using tablets from the 3rd order? What does it look like in such a situation? When can you start having sex without protection?
And if you exceed the dose of pain pills while defending placebo pills, when will protection be restored and when can you start having sex without additional protection?

As much as it will be preserved
So if for about a week I took pain pills every day but I did not exceed 6 tablets in one day, the effectiveness is preserved?

Paracetamol (e.g. Apap, Paracetamol Biofarm) at a dose greater than 3 g per day (6 tablets of 500 mg) may reduce the effectiveness of contraception. If you took 4 tablets, the effectiveness should be maintained.
