Birth control question

Unread post by Questionss »

so i know that birth control pills will dissolve if you put them in some kind of liquid. But will they dissolve if i put one in yogurt to try and help me swallow it better? Cuz i just did that with mine and now im not sure if that was the best idea :$

Even if the pill is dissolved, as long as you ingest all of it, it is fine. Some people dissolve the pill when they have a difficult time swallowing them and probiotics (yogurt falls into this category) will not impact the effectiveness of your pill so you should be good :)

If you took the whole pill, then yes you are fine.
