I have been taking Slinda contraceptive pills for 3 months (24+4 regimen). On the day of the last placebo tablet, I drank 20 stomach drops with St. John's wort extract at a time. After about 26 hours I started a new pack of Slinda tablets, I took the first active tablet. Can taking these drops weaken contraceptive protection? Do I need to protect myself additionally and for how long?

According to the available information, taking gastric drops containing St. John's wort extract may reduce the effectiveness of Slinda contraceptive pills. Therefore, for another 7 days after taking the drops, it would be advisable to use an additional contraceptive method, e.g. a condom, to prevent pregnancy.
