How long does it takes for a birth control pill to go down in the stomach, if i take it without water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Esophageal transit: Highly variable. Once you swallow anything the esophagus contracts in rhythmic motions to move it into the stomach, it depends on how much saliva you produce and what the coating on the birth control pill is like.
