Hello, I recently took 5mg of diluted activated charcoal for abdominal pain about 2 hours after taking the vines contraceptive pill. Is it possible that such an amount caused incomplete intake of the tablet?

In my opinion, taking the Vines contraceptive pill about 2 hours after such a small amount of activated carbon should not significantly affect its effectiveness. However, if you are concerned, you can use an additional method of contraception, e.g. condoms, for the next 7 days. Moreover, according to the leaflet of the drug with activated carbon Medicinal charcoal VP, other drugs can be used at least 2 hours before or after taking activated carbon. I enclose the leaflet of the drug with carbon: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/84120/wegiel-leczniczy-vp-kapsulki/ulotka and a helpful article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
Is it possible to take a pill after if it has not been absorbed?
