Does changing pills from Orlifique to Atywia Daily weaken contraceptive protection?

Good morning, today I have to change the drug orlifique to atywia daily, I am during the 5th day of withdrawal and the doctor advised me to take a new tablet today, but for the first two weeks caution. During the last week I had intermittent sex, is there a risk of pregnancy due to changing contraception to another?

Yes, the protection of the tablets should be fully preserved. However, it is worth bearing in mind that no method of contraception gives 100% protection against pregnancy.

Okay, so I understand that I am protected all the time and there is no need for additional security?

In fact, you can start taking new pills on any day of the placebo break/tablets from the blister of the previous tablets or at the latest the next day after the end of the break/placebo tablets, i.e. as if you were starting another pack of previous tablets.

And when would you recommend taking 1 tablet? Today is the 5th day of withdrawal bleeding and the doctor told me that today, but tomorrow I would take the first active orlifique tablet.

If you used the pills correctly, there is no reason to worry.

So despite unprotected intercourse a week ago, there will be no cause for concern, even if the doctor advised caution in the first two weeks of new pills?

If you change the pills from Orlifique to Atywia Daily in the way you describe, contraceptive protection is preserved, so there is no increased risk of pregnancy.
