OK, I just recently switched pill brands last month. I switched from Desogen to Levlen 28. I am kinda freaking out because I have found with the Levlen, the pill will dissolve in my mouth before I can even take a drink of water. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Can someone that is taking Levlen 28 tell me if this happens to you? Do I need to switch again? Any advice is great!

Thanks

Ok, I talked to a nurse at PP, and she told me that she had never heard of that happening, but that the pill would get absorbed throught my mucous membranes in my mouth if it dissolved in my mouth. She said I should be fine, but to make sure and have a glass of water ready to drink.
