A member asked:

Hello, I was taking an Advil capsule and as I was swallowing felt the water going down the wrong pipe. Since I was mid-swallow I kept going, and then coughed a bit after it was over. Is it possible that I aspirated the pill too along with the water?

So my partner and I decided to do it for the first time. 30 hours later she took a Plan B pill. But instead of swallowing it whole, she chewed on it and then swallowed it (with water of course). Will the pill still be effective?
