Does diarrhea affect Nuvaring?

Just wondering if diarrhea or vomiting affect Nuvaring the same way as they would the Pill. I cannot find this information in the instructions that came with my ring.
Thanks.

The reason vomiting or having extreme diarrhea within 2 hours of taking the pill can cause a problem is due to the pill not being fully digested/absorbed. The ring (like the patch) provides hormones transdermally, so this should not be a problem.
