Good morning, will nothing happen if 5 minutes after brushing my teeth mint paste I took a contraceptive pill?

To @Gabriela: protection is preserved. The aftertaste of mint and drinking an infusion of mint, mint lozenges, etc. does not affect the effectiveness of contraception.

So washing mint toothpaste that left a mint taste in the mouth does not reduce the effectiveness and tablets if I took a tablet 5 minutes after brushing my teeth?

Brushing your teeth with mint paste 5 minutes before taking the contraceptive pill does not affect its effectiveness. However, the effect of contraceptive pills may be affected by some drugs, which we write about here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
