I regularly take Roticox 60 mg (minimum 2x per week) and Poltram Combo for joint degeneration. Do they affect the effectiveness of using Nuvaring discs?

To @Klaudi:
Roticox has no significant effect on the effectiveness of Mercillon tablets.
Hello, I wanted to ask if roticox 60mg tablets affect mercilon tablets?

I enclose a fragment of the materials available on GdziePoLek regarding the use of Roticox while using hormonal contraception: Etoricoxib belonging to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. Roticox) at a dose of at least 60 mg per day increases the concentration of ethinyl estradiol in the blood - a substance that is the main active compound of combined contraceptive pills (e.g. Nuvaring), which may lead to side effects (e.g. vomiting or diarrhea), which - if they occur in within 4 hours of taking the contraceptive pill - they can reduce its effectiveness, and in addition to this increases the risk of venous thrombotic events in women at risk. Poltram Combo is a preparation containing m.in paracetamol in a dose of 375 mg (8 tablets of Poltram Combo) in one tablet. If more than 3 g of paracetamol is taken daily, the contraceptive effectiveness may be reduced.
