Can the consumption of tea, soda or fruit juices affect the effectiveness of birth control pills?

If I take Yasminelle tablets, can I drink different juices every time after taking it? Is tea etc? Well, every drink. But isn't it too much? And do lime, grapefruit or orange carbonated drinks affect the effectiveness? I can easily pic them?

The answer to one of your questions can be found in one of our articles: "Do not drink contraceptive pills with citrus juices (e.g. grapefruit, orange). The ingredients contained in them inhibit the activity of the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4, which is responsible for the metabolism of estradiol – a component of two-component contraceptives. In short, the liver will be "busy" with the decomposition of juice, not tablets. However, this will not lead to a decrease in their effectiveness, but may increase the risk of side effects (e.g. vomiting or diarrhea), which may only reduce the effectiveness of the tablets. Birth control pills are best washed down with still water." Link to the whole: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji This also applies to the consumption of citrus juices with an interval of about 4 hours from taking the tablet. The consumption of carbonated drinks or tea is not contraindicated and does not affect the effectiveness of contraceptive pills. Similarly, the consumption of semen (sperm) will not have any effect on the action of the tablets.
