Do the appearance of diarrhea 5 and 20 hours after taking the contraceptive pill Zoely could have affected its effectiveness?
Good morning I have been taking zoely for 5 years, this month at the 7 blister pill after 5 hours and 20 I had a bout of diarrhea and I took another pill but after half an hour I had another bout of diarrhea so I took another pill from a spare blister after which I had no more discharges. Is the pill absorbed having had no more discharges? Am I covered by contraception?

In the described situation, there was no contraceptive protection disorder, you took an additional pill unnecessarily. Diarrhoea is the passing of liquid or semi-liquid stool at least 3 times a day. Contraceptive protection could be impaired if diarrhoea occurs (passing at least 3 stools of liquid or semi-liquid consistency) within 3-4 hours of taking the pill. In your case, the (semi-)liquid stool was passed only after 5 hours, and the next one only after 20 hours.
Take the next tablets as usual, every day, at the agreed time.
