Will eating 2/3 slices of flaxseed bread 40 minutes after taking Dionelle affect the effectiveness of contraception?
9.99 zł

Good morning
40 minutes after taking the pill I ate probably 2/3 of a slice of bread containing corn and, unfortunately, flaxseed. I realized it only today. Today I am also starting a break for withdrawal bleeding. I wonder if this break will harm the security .... If it was slices of bread and flaxseed, can it affect the effectiveness of protection? He is very nervous... She is taking a combined pill - dionelle

To @Pola:

The linseed contained in bread is heat-treated, so the content of mucilage components in it is significantly reduced. Therefore, even a larger amount does not pose a threat to the absorption of the tablets.

You should continue taking the tablets according to the schedule, i.e. take a break.

so I can safely take a break for bleeding ? there is no need to combine packaging ...
I'll just add that, unfortunately, there were really a lot of these flaxseed grains in the slices given to me... but I can be sure of the preserved effectiveness ? Thank you in advance :))

Eating small amounts of flaxseed seeds contained in food products, such as bread, tortillas or rice cakes, does not weaken the absorption of contraceptive pills and does not reduce their effectiveness. It is not flaxseed itself, and the mucus it contains can coat the digestive system and impair the absorption of other ingredients. Eating whole grains and heat-treated (lower content of mucilage components) will not impair absorption.

There is no need to worry, contraceptive protection remains preserved.
