Will A Dissolved Plan B Pill Be Effective?

Hello, my girlfriend had taken the plan B pill right after we found out that the condom broke. She was trying to swallow the pill but it desolved in her mouth. She kept drinking water to get it down. She is just wondering if it will still be affective or not.

Hello,
Even though the pill dissolved, it will still be gulped down in the powdered form and the effect will still be the same. Moreover, if she is the safe period of her cycle, there is no reason for worry even if the condom broke and the emergency medication has not been taken. She may see some withdrawal bleeding after a couple of days and the next natural period may be delayed by a week or two. She should get expert help if the next period does not happen even ten days after it is due. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
