A member asked:
I think my birth control pill may have gotten stuck in my throat last night and partially dissolved there. could this lower the effectiveness?

Drink water: while standing up, drink 16 ounces of water or juice. after 15-30 minutes, repeat this. if sensation goes away by end of day, then resume BC pill the next day as per usual. if sensation doesn't go away, see you doctor tomorrow. in general, take pills with lots of water/juice and don't lie down for at keast 30 minutes.
