Did I do the right thing in this situation? I drank about 300 ml of red orange juice after two hours I took the contraceptive pill at the standard time, which I washed down with still water. For fear that the effectiveness was not disturbed by the drunk juice, I took an additional tablet at 24. Has my contraception been preserved?

Yes, contraceptive protection has been preserved. When using hormonal contraception, do not consume dietary supplements based on grapefruit extract (e.g. Citrosept Organic) and drink tablets with citrus juices (e.g. grapefruit, orange). Red fruit juices do not reduce the effectiveness of their action, but may increase the risk of side effects (e.g. vomiting or diarrhea), which may only reduce the effectiveness of the tablets, an additional tablet was not needed.
