Can short-term use of vitamin C at a dose of 1000mg reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive drugs?
Can the short-term (a few days, the period of penetration) use of vitamin C at a dose of 1000mg reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive drugs? I found information that the interaction only occurs when vitamin C is taken for a long period of time and then discontinued.

Short-term intake of vitamin C in high doses does not affect the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill. Data on taking vitamin C while using hormonal contraception are few, debatable and ambiguous. It should be emphasized that these theories concern the intake of high doses of vitamin C (above 1 gram per day) and the use of single-component tablets. Speculation on this topic does not apply to low-dose combination pills, which are currently the most popular pills.
