Will swallowing a small amount of cosmetic with activated carbon reduce the effectiveness of contraception?
Hello, Can the use of cosmetics with activated carbon and accidentally transfer them to the mouth in less than 4 hours after taking the contraceptive pill interfere with its operation and reduce the effectiveness of contraception? Is there a risk that the pills will not protect against pregnancy? I am referring specifically to the Atywia Daily contraceptive pill.

No, accidentally transferring a bit of cosmetic containing activated carbon to your mouth will not adversely affect the effectiveness of Atywia Daily contraceptive pills - no reason to worry. Only large amounts of carbon contained in tablets are able to realistically reduce the effectiveness of protection against pregnancy.
