Best consult with your OBGYN doctor. You may need to take another pill, but first ask your doctor for directions.

AS long as the pill is completely swallowed and is not still stuck in your mouth, it will continue to dissolve in your stomach and will function correctly. Do not take another one until needed because these pills have lots of hormones which lead to lots of side effects including nausea, breast tenderness, bloating, irregular menstrual bleeding. Consider starting a regular form of birth control.

Yes, as long as you take the whole contents of the pill and take it within 72 hour of sex, it is about 95% effective in preventing pregnancy. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.
