Would using a spermacide while on the pill cause a yeast infection?

Question: My girlfriend is on the pill, but she missed a day before getting her prescription refilled. Another girl I was with some time ago was on Nuva Ring and used a spermacide and got a yeast infection as a result (this is after her doctor warned her). So, would the same thing happen with the pill or is just because the Nuva Ring was inside her? Thanks ahead of time.
