Do belching and heartburn affect the effectiveness of the Orlifique contraceptive pill? Immediately after taking the last tablet from the second row, heartburn and belching occurred, but I did not vomit. Could the effectiveness have been reduced? Will a slight dissolution of the tablet and a slight bite of the tablet when swallowing (but I swallowed it whole - I did not chew it) affect the effectiveness? (This was the last tablet of the second row)

If there is no diarrhoea or vomiting, there is no reason to worry - the effectiveness of contraception will be maintained and there will be no need for another dose of the drug. Heartburn and reflux do not have a negative effect on the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. Slight dissolution/biting of the tablet also does not adversely affect its effectiveness.
