Good morning
Can aspirin and paracetamol (Gripex max) be combined with evra contraceptive patches - will this not reduce their effectiveness? Please also provide the maximum dose of these drugs that can be safely taken with contraception.

Thank you very much for your answer, for my own peace of mind I will protect myself through this one cycle and I will be careful in the future :)

4000 mg of paracetamol per day is the maximum recommended daily dose. Exceeding it can lead to liver damage. If you only took this dose on the first day of your cycle of contraceptive patches and did not experience any other side effects, it probably did not affect the effectiveness of the patches.

Thank you for the answer, on the Gripex hot max packaging, the allowed dose is 4 sachets per day, i.e. 4000mg of paracetamol, I did not know that such an amount can harm the liver.
This is the amount I took on the first day of the patch cycle (applying the first patch), so after this one current package they will work normally?

If you have overdosed on paracetamol, it is best to take additional precautions throughout the current cycle of using the patches. Also, consult your doctor to assess whether the liver has been damaged as a result of the overdose.

Okay, and if I exceeded the daily dose of paracetamol and took 4000mg, how long should I protect myself with a condom? And what's the difference when I overdose during my bleeding break and while wearing the patch?

Aspirin and paracetamol (Gripex max) can be used with the Evra patches - these drugs do not interact with the hormones in the patch and protection is maintained.
The recommended dosage is: 2 tablets of Aspirin 500 mg and 2 tablets of Gripex Max per day; These drugs can be taken alternately at intervals of 4-6 hours.

Here you can compare the prices of Aspirin in online pharmacies and order with home delivery or pharmacy pickup:

Since Gripex max contains substances with a potential addictive effect, it is not possible to buy this drug with shipping. Here you can check its availability in pharmacies and make reservations:
