I've had a bug been sick once but had diarrhoea for about a week.
I've started taking rigevedon about 12 days ago.
does this impact the efficacy of the pill?
I read a bit of a horror story on the sun website

I know for microgynon, the pill packet leaflet goes into a fair bit of detail about what to do if this happens in various circs - yours might do the same?

I have been taking Rigevedon,
I'll look in the box that's a good idea actually thank you.

Yes it will. So use alternative contraception for this cycle.

Presumably I'm protected for the days before I got ill?
Sorry I haven't taken the pill for ten years
