Will Taking Contraceptive With Alcoholic Beverages Cause Side Effects?

Good Day! I took the 1st dose of nordette paired up with softdrinks 66 hours after having an intercourse and 2nd dose after 12 hours. Another factor is that 3 days after the second dose I drank alcoholic beverages? Does it affect the effectivity of the ecp Why I still don't have my withdrawal bleeding?

hi,
Yes, certainly alcohol will increase the metabolism of all hormonal pills and renders them ineffective.
Clinically this may or may not be shown up as a negative outcome, but the effectiveness is certainly compromised to some extent. This is the reason why i guess you are still not having withdrawal bleeding.
consultation with a gynecologist will enlighten you regarding things to be avoided while on pills.
hope i am clear.
I find this answer helpful
