If i took a birth control pill and swallowed with water and coughed (or sneezed) a minute or more after, do i have to take another one in case it somehow came out without me knowing or not absorbed properly?

: If cough or sneezing occurs more than 60 seconds after the swallowing then you won't regurgitate the pill, only with vomit. Take care.
