Hello, can eating a piece of lasagna with lots of pieces of red pepper affect the effectiveness of birth control pills due to the vitamin C contained in peppers?

No. Food does not affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception, we wrote about it in the following article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jedzenie-i-picie-obnizaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji Vitamin C in a daily dose of 1000mg can have a real impact on the effectiveness of contraception, while red pepper being a component of lasagna, in the thermally processed version, certainly does not contain such high doses of vitamin. You have no reason to worry, the effectiveness of the drug will be preserved.
