Does Dissolution Of Plan B In Mouth Affect Its Efficacy?
Hello, My boyfriend and I had sex last night, but unfortunately, the condom broke. I took the plan b pill about 20 minutes after, but it dissolved in my mouth before I could swallow it. Of course, I drank water with it until the taste was completely gone. Will it still be effective? Should I be concerned? Will taking another plan b pill be necessary?
Hello dear Understand your concern Dissolution of Plan B in the mouth does not affect the efficacy of the pill. And you took the water so do not worry, all the tablet composition goes inside the body. So there is no requirement of the another pill. If you had sexual intercourse in the safe period of cycle then chance of pregnancy is nil even if you do not use plan B pill. After taking plan B pill, breakthrough bleeding may occur after 5-7 days and next period may be delayed/earlier. Hope this may help you
