Q: took plan b last night but i feel like its stuck in my throat. will it lose its effectiveness?

: Pills are designed to be absorbed in the body, usually in the small intestine, so if they do get truly stuck in the throat or esophagus, they are not absorbed as well. If you continue to have difficulties with pills or food sticking in your throat or esophagus, you should see your primary doctor or a gastroenterologist. Good luck.
