I bought a plan b pill and dissolved it in a little water and took it. because i have a hard time swallowing pills. is its the pill effect the same? will it work?

Dissolving the "i-pill" in water will not reduce its effectiveness, however, "i-pills" are not 100% certain for contraception. If your period is delayed, get a home pregnancy test or a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

The Plan B pill should still work after having been dissolved, but it needs to be taken within five days of intercourse, the sooner the better. These pills are not full proof, and if your period does not come on eventually, then you should check a pregnancy test. Good luck.
