Good morning
I have a question about maintaining the effectiveness of contraception, I take Limetic pills every day at 9.50 am, today between 11 am and 12 o'clock I passed two loose, liquid stools, in addition, yesterday late in the evening I had intercourse.
Has the effect of the tablets been retained?

To @Anonymous:
2 stools are not diarrhoea and it does not matter how long after taking the tablet they occur.
Even if they occurred less than 4 hours after taking the pill?
Thank you in advance for your reply

2 loose stools do not affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. The effect of the contraceptive pill was retained.
Diarrhea is defined as passing at least 3 excessively loose stools.

I encourage you to read an additional opinion on a similar topic:
I am attaching a link that allows you to check the availability of Limetic and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice:
