A member asked:
If you took your bc pill and 15 -25minutes later you had diharreah just once.. will that effect the effectivness of the birthcontrol pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It would take hours for the pill to enter your intestines and be absorbed. The pill would not pass through you rapidly due to the diarrhea. Your episode of diarrhea will not impact the efficacy of your birth control pill.
