Help! Pill dissolved in my mouth...
| Wed, 06-09-2004 - 8:47am |
Hi all,
As I was going to take my pill (Yasmin - I'm in the second week of active pills) this morning, I guess I didn't have enough water in my mouth to wash it down, and it got stuck on my tongue and partially dissolved in my mouth. I didn't spit the rest out, but took another drink of water to swallow what was left of it. (Sorry if this is too much info!) After I swallowed it, I saw there was a yellow stain on my tongue from where the pill had partially dissolved. Will this reduce the effectiveness of the pill this month? Should I use backup for the rest of the pack, or do you think I'll be ok? Thanks for your help!

But if you want to be extra-careful, and this is probably the route I'd take, you could treat it like a missed pill and use backup until you've taken seven active pills on time without mishaps. You don't have to use backup for the rest of the pack unless you're less than seven days from the end. The yellow is probably just the dye from the coating on the tablet, the inside is probably white. ;)
Good luck!
