Question 5

if the plan b pill disolves in my mouth before i swallow , will it still work?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: The short answer to your question is yes.  As long as whatever was dissolved in your mouth enters the GI tract, the entire dose should get into your bloodstream.  If any part of a dose seems to be dissolving in the mouth, it might be a good idea to drink a glass of water afterwards to assure everything gets into your  stomach.

Question 10

i let my plan b pill melt in my mouth then i spit it out,but i feel like i swallowed a little of it,will the pill still work? or can i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: For it to work enough of the pill contents (hormones) must enter your bloodstream and create a change in your body's mucous.This  renders the womb unfavorable to the implantation of an embryo that is created at conception.If you spit part of it out, there may not be enough left for it to work.Time will tell.
