A member asked:
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?

Yes, all these will work as well after that pattern of taking it as if she swallowed it whole.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. As long as the lady swallowed the contents of the tablet, it will be effective, If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Get HPV vaccine.
