Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) pill: It can go down in a matter of seconds to as long as hours if it gets stuck in your esophagus. You should not take any kind of medicine in pill or capsule form without liquid to wash it down. Depending on the type of pill it can cause an ulcer or even a perforation of your esophagus.
