Q: i took postinor 2 but it dissolved in my mouth before i could swallow it, is it still effective?

: As long as you swallowed the dissolved material, it should be effective. Emergency contraceptive is about 95% effective if taken within 72 hours of sex. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
