Vicks and Gripex are preparations containing, m.in. paracetamol. The use of paracetamol at a dose of more than 3g per day reduces the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. 3 sachets of Vicks Antygrip Max, Vick Antygrip Complex and Gripex Hot max respectively contain 3g, 1.5g and 3g of paracetamol. The effectiveness of contraception is maintained if the daily dose of paracetamol does not exceed 3g. We wrote about drugs that affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
