I had diarrhea after taking the pill and I would like to know if my contraception is still effective.

No, taking an extra dose of contraception after experiencing diarrhea should not affect its effectiveness. The contraceptive pill was likely already absorbed before your episode of nausea and diarrhea, so the risk of decreased effectiveness is very low. It is important to follow the instructions provided with your contraception to ensure proper use.
