What should I do if I have taken the Vibin mini contraceptive pill 30 minutes after taking activated charcoal?
Good morning. I was afraid of diarrhea (ultimately it does not occur) and I took activated carbon. After half an hour, I took the oral antinception Vibin mini (the last day of the third week, now a placebo is ahead of me). Should I take the tablet from the extra pack for up to 12 hours? I understand that I should wait about 4 hours after taking coal.

After taking the active tablet of Vibin mini 30 minutes after taking activated charcoal, we can assume that the contraceptive pill has not been absorbed and its effectiveness has not been preserved. At least 4 hours should elapse from taking activated charcoal until the contraceptive pill is taken: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/82281/vibin-mini-tabletki-powlekane/apteki If you take an additional pill within 12 hours of a fixed hour of use, the situation does not affect the contraceptive effectiveness of Vibin mini. However, if more than 12 hours have passed since the incorrect use of the tablet, you can act in 2 ways: 1) Treat this day as the 1st day of using placebo tablets. The next package should be started 1 day earlier. 2) Take an extra tablet, then discard the placebo tablets and start the new pack directly. Both methods ensure that the contraceptive effectiveness of the drug is preserved.
