Does seawater affect Vines tablets and can reduce their effectiveness?
Hello, on Monday I am leaving for the sea. I have been using Vines contraceptive pills for 2 years. Does seawater affect the tablets and can reduce their effectiveness? Tablets are taken at 10:30. And around 11/11:30 we will go out to the beach. Should I refrain from bathing in the sea and wait 4 hours for the tablet to calmly absorb? Can I swim in the water without any problems and without fear when I "swallow" a little of it, the tablet will be absorbed and the protection will be preserved?

Accidental ingestion of a little seawater will not affect the effectiveness of the drug.
Okay, great, thank you very much!! Even if I swallow water, the tablet will still absorb properly, right? This is the first holiday "during" the use of contraception, hence my fears.

Bathing in the sea does not affect the effectiveness of contraceptive pills - you can enjoy your holiday without any obstacles. Please note that some contraceptives may cause the skin to be more sensitive to sunlight. It is worth taking a cream with a high SPF filter.
