Good morning. I have a question about orange juice, I see that other women asked such questions, but asked about the pills. Recently I drank orange juice and use the Nuvaring disc. Does it affect the effectiveness of the puck?

For @Monika: Fruits such as tangerines or oranges do not affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive disc. The effectiveness of hormonal contraception may be influenced by some drugs, as you can read about here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
Does eating tangerine while using an anti-concentration disc affect it
And the fruits themselves, for example, orange or mandarin?

When taking birth control pills, you can drink orange juice, with the proviso, as you yourself mentioned, that you can not drink it with birth control pills. For dinner, you can eat orange juice as much as possible.
And when taking pills can it be consumed? I do not mean sipping pills with this juice only No for dinner orange juice or it must be completely excluded

Orange juice has no effect on the nuvaring contraceptive disc.
