Is Placing Plan-B Under Tongue Better Than Swallowing It In Obese Women?
I m overweight at 200 pounds and therefore plan b is less effective, but if I let it disolve under the tongue so it directly enters the bloodstream will be more effective. Because I read that the reason plan b is less effective in overweight women is because the liver can completely filter it out so it never reaches the bloodstream, would the way I m suggesting be more effective for me?

hello,
i can understand your concern.
it has always been known that people with weight on the higher side are more prone to the failure of a hormonal contraception be it emergency or otherwise.
dissolving the tablet under the tongue will not be effective.
the efficacy will not change with the usage of the drug in this manner.
i would suggest copper t instead which would be equally effective in an obese woman as in a normal weight woman.
hope i have answered your concerns.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
