Do vitamin C at a dose of 1000 mg, Coldrex Maxgrip and Nurofen affect the effectiveness of Dionelle?

Good morning. I have been using birth control pills since January 2023 to this day. I have a question... for several days I have been taking vitamin C 1000 mg in a water-soluble pastille. Since yesterday I have been taking nurofen express forte 400mg. Today I took nurofen, drank vitamin C and drank Coldrex MaxGrip for a cold in the evening. Does all this affect the effectiveness of Dionelle 0.03mg + 2 mg contraceptive pills?

The use of vitamin C in doses above 1000 mg may weaken the effectiveness of Dionelle hormonal contraception. Therefore, supplementation with high doses of vitamin C is not recommended in patients using hormonal contraception.

Coldrex MaxGrip also contains m.in vitamin C. Nurofen does not affect the effectiveness of Dionelle.
