Hello. At what intervals should I take the following medicines: Prokit 50 mg 3 times a day, Helicid 20 mg 2 times a day and Slinda birth control pills? I always welcome Slinda in the evening. Do these drugs affect the effectiveness of Slinda birth control pills?

If Prokit was taken only while taking placebo pills, it has no effect on the effectiveness of contraception.
Thank you very much for your reply 🙂 Will the use of Prokit while taking placebo pills not affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception? All intercourse 7 days before taking placebo tablets and 7 days ahead will be protected if there was no additional protection in the form of a condom?

Additional protection should be used for the duration of the treatment and 7 days after its completion. It cannot be excluded that, despite the 3-hour interval, the absorption of the tablet will be disturbed.
So it is enough to protect yourself additionally throughout the treatment period with Prokit? You don't have to protect yourself for the next pack of "Slinda" birth control pills? If I have to take Helicid also before dinner, and I take it at 18.00 and I take Slinda at 21.00, will it affect the effectiveness and action of "Slinda"?

There are no contraindications to combine drugs Helicid, Prokit and Slinda. Usually, Prokit is used in the scheme of 1 tablet three times a day before meals, and Helicid 1 tablet in the morning on an empty stomach and if indicated, the second one about 30 minutes. before lunch. If the doctor has recommended a different dosage, please follow his recommendations, because the therapy is adapted individually to the patient's needs. Helicid does not affect the action of Slinda contraceptive pills, but Prokit may affect their absorption, which you can read more about in the attached thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/31263/vines-czy-lek-prokit-moze-oslabiac-skutecznosc-antykoncepcyjna-tabletek-vines I attach helpful materials: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/trawienie-i-uklad-pokarmowy https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/3-kroki-do-zdrowych-jelit https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-przyjmowanie-kilku-lekow-jednoczesnie-jest-bezpieczne
