Good morning, I have a question about orlifique pills. Taking 1 tablet after a 7-day break, I washed it down with water but immediately after that I drank instant coffee and ate breakfast. Will the tablet absorb properly? On the leaflet he writes that he takes regardless of meals ... I'm a little worried about this coffee.

The answer to the question has already been given and can be found in the link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/78987/dzien-dobry-ponawiam-pytanie-bo-niestety-nie-otrzymalam-odpowied
Drinking the tablets with water and then drinking coffee or tea right away, it's like drinking a pill of one of these drinks. I suggest to refrain from consuming this type of fluid at least for 30 minutes and give the tablet at least the opportunity to "calmly" dissolve in the stomach. I think this is the time that you can only drink water and postpone other drinks for later. If not - I suggest changing the time of taking the tablets to one when there will be no need to immediately consume a drink other than water. I understand that sometimes the desire to drink coffee or tea is strong, but when it comes to the action of the tablet - it seems to me that this is a matter of great importance. Coffee or tea do not have a proven effect that weakens the effectiveness of contraceptive pills, but I believe that they can somehow interfere with or delay the dissolution of the pill or, as too warm, deactivate the active substances. Therefore, once again, I encourage you to refrain from drinking coffee or tea immediately after taking the tablet. That was another lady's answer with someone else or does that make sense?
Thank you. And the fact that the coffee was warm. You truth does not boil because with milk but on other answers I read that warm coffee can deactivate the tablet ... Is it possible? I drank water but in 5 minutes break this coffee ...

There is no need to worry. The effectiveness of the tablet has been preserved because, as you mentioned, food, including coffee, does not affect the absorption of this drug. I attach links to helpful entries: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-laczyc-leki-z-jedzeniem
