Is it possible to combine garlic pills with contraceptive pills?

Hello, can I consume garlic in the morning in the form of tablets for immunity ? (Garlic Forte odorless 60 capsules) so that contraception is preserved when taking Orlifique tablets, which are taken in the evening.

There are some reports that indicate that the substances contained in garlic can lead to a faster breakdown of estrogen, thereby causing a weakening of the effect of contraceptive pills. However, there is no exact data on this subject, and thus it is impossible to determine what dose of garlic causes such an effect. You can read about substances that should definitely be avoided when using hormonal contraception in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji. In order to strengthen the immune system, you can also use such preparations as: fish oil, shark liver oil or vitamin D3. In their case, there are no reports of interactions with birth control pills.
