Acne. Taking Ginet. Does It Also Function As A Contraceptive?

I'm taking Ginet-84 for my acne. I was told that it has some things in it that are in contraceptive pills. I was reading on the little piece of paper in the box and it says that within 12hrs of taking the yellow pills you're protected but if you have sexual intercourse outside of those 12hrs of taking the pill then you're not protected from getting pregnant. Is it accurate to say that I could get pregnant if I had taken that pill 12hrs+ before having sexual intercourse? if so, is there any other way (other than condoms) to try and get a 24hr protection against getting pregnant and would taking "real" contraceptives have a bad reaction or anything like that with Ginet-84?

-Thanks.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
One thing you should bear in your mind very clearly that no method is 100% safe or give protection against the pregnancy, you should never rely upon any thing, only 100% safe is "do not go below the belt" other wise get ready for conception, have nice day.
