Does eating a tomato an hour after taking the yasmin contraceptive pill weaken its effect?

The mere occurrence of a gag reflex (without vomiting) does not affect the effectiveness of contraception.
I had 2 gag reflexes just coughed, I did not vomit
And if I swallowed a tablet at 20 and at 20: 30 somehow my throat was pinched and I wanted to check if it was red. Putting a stick in my throat, I felt a gag reflex, could it have taken the pill back? I didn't vomit

No, eating a tomato half an hour before the contraceptive pill also does not weaken its effect.
And eating half an hour before the pill?

No, eating a tomato an hour after taking the contraceptive pill does not weaken its effect, there is no reason to worry.
