ARGH will my mini pill still work??

Question

i took my mini pill about 515pm then my tum hurt so much i went to the chemist to get some activated charcoal which i took about 530pm but i had period cramps so i bought some feminax ultra, when i bought it the pharmacist said i couldnt take it until 3-4 hours after i took the activated charcoal as it absorbs the medicine.. does it really only take meds 3-4 hours to leave your tum, should i be ok taking the medicine now? but NOW my MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS, IS MY MINI PILL STILL EFFECTIVE? since I took activated charcoal 15 mins after taking it?? i didnt think of it then i was just in pain so took it... um, is my mini pill still ok?? or would it be absorbed by the charcoal? thanks

Answer 1

When in doubt use a condom!!!

Answer 2

Heya,

I would say no, if you want s*x use a condom that is your best option as you will be protected. To get a better answer you could ask your family GP in order for your mind to be put to rest, once and for all and if your in doubt at all use a condom. But a visit to the GP would be a practical solution.

Hope i helped
